I felt the frustration when service changes were made based on limited feedback. Changes are needed, but they should not be made in a vacuum. We need to make decisions and push for funding to make the central corridor light rail line a reality. We have to get creative about figuring out how a bus way can really be integrated into a light rail system. And. we have to pay attention to the consumer experience by improving bus shelters and dissemination of information on services.
Smart transit comes from good planning.
Let s face it, it s not just about trains and buses. Cars are part of mass transit, too. Cutting transportation planners from the City s workforce has had the result of cutting out the voice of our neighborhoods and citizens from creating a transportation plan that works and makes living in the city easy.
