The Political Environment: Progressive Dane On The RTA

Saturday, March 13, 2010

Good perspective on the Dane County RTA issue.

And a Milwaukee perspective on transit issues in Milwaukee County.

enoughalready said...: We should be cutting fares and expanding routes, not the other way around. Viable transit is a must for a viable city. And we should be aggressively soliciting suggestions from the public about possible new routes.

For example, why do most, if not all, current routes, travel into or out of downtown? Might not more people be inclined to ride a bus if they could get from peripheral point A to peripheral point B without having to travel through the least desirable parts of our city?

Where is the imagination and the will to build a viable transit system?; March 16, 2010 at 3:52 PM

Not to mention the people who will lose their jobs if they can't get to them anymore.; March 20, 2010 at 2:10 PM
