re: your first meme. i have been saying this for years. my colleagues do not like it
Excuse me while I go back to bitching about I-25 (the primary north/south highway along the Colorado front range) and the fact that while they’re wasting years continually widening it, they still haven’t added a damn light rail line running parallel…
I would absolutely take public transit from FoCo to Colorado Springs if it was a light rail, not a series of 5 bus transfers and like 6 hours.
YES
There is always construction, to widen the road, which makes the traffic worse, while trying to make it better…
Don’t think I’ve ever gone to or from Denver and not gone through some major construction.
They used to have an awesome bus from Boulder to Denver but have pared down the routes significantly. Really boils my blood. They used to have over 15,000 riders on that route every day, then it dropped to 2,000 during COVID, but now probably 15,000 people want to take it again but times and routes are so dang inconvenient.
Don’t get me wrong I would love a light rail. But a good functioning bus in the meantime would be great lol.
Ha I worked on the schedule for all those buses. Even on paper they looked bad
Let me tell you a little something about induced demand…
Txdot is trying to do a bunch of this through downtown austin right now and I am just screaming eternally.
