Reason to vote no on commuter rail

Comments Off on Reason to vote no on commuter rail

The picture below is my son, Ethan. He wanted me to tell you that by the time he’s ten, he wants urban rail service (dedicated right-of-way; not streetcars) running down the real urban rail corridor (Lamar/Guadalupe), not “Rapid Bus”. He also wanted me to add that if you vote for commuter rail, and his dad is right about the negative effects, he’s coming for you.


If I were you, I’d do what he wants.

2017 update: We have almost no useful transit now running down Guadalupe/Lamar because groups like AURA have allied themselves with bad actors instead of continuing honest pro-transit advocacy. Good job, guys! Here’s what Ethan looks like now in early 2017; there’s still no good rail in this city, and we’re set to lose all local bus service on Guadalupe and Speedway thanks to AURA’s credulous support of Connections 2025!
