It sounds like your transit system has the good problem of needing to accommodate more passengers. Why not ask your local authorities (transit authority, city council, etc) to look into upgrading these busier routes to trams or even heavy rail? That way they could add A LOT more capacity without having to make the experience so uncomfortable, and they’d save money in the long run.
Thanks. Fortunately, there is actually a (one) light rail project under study, it just happens to not cover my general area. Hopefully if it goes ahead and works, it’d mean there’ll be more. But it has my support in the meantime!
I wanna take this chance to really encourage you to get out there and let people know you want to see this project and want to see more like it. In general, the majority of people who show up to these meetings are the NIMBYs who simply ask that everybody drive an $80,000 tank and run over anyone on a bicycle. We could really use your voice.
I’ll see what I can do. Things like mass transportation should be relevant in this area with a noticeable population and construction growth, but there’s an underlying facet that most of the “room” that was at some time in the past thought of for setting up two train lines, was already used to construct bikeways because the train projects were taking too long to even get past proposal stage. In our situation people want to see things that can be done fast, and historically here train is not one of them.
