Urban design takes a lot of time and planning. A great city can be made average and a poorly designed city can be made wonderful given the proper time and resources.

We treat public transit like a charity that needs to provide a bare minimum service for the less fortunate rather than the incredibly convenient and cost effective mode of transportation it is. A good network is good for everyone and those who can just pay a little more

There have been dozens of times where I have actively sought out using the bus to go places like the store or gym and every time it's way more effort and time than it's worth. I would happily pay a sizable fare if it meant I could rely on the system and it picked up anywhere near my neighborhood.

Surely they can't all be paid protesters

It's cool that there were several streets that were closed off for construction but still opened the bike lanes. Great vid.

Yeah exactly! I was going for a more "premium" price as most EVs are a higher end product, but you bring up a good point that there are some amazing mid-range e bikes that a credit like this would almost entirely cover.

I wouldn't expect something like this to be built for a decade plus, but I guess the main question is when do we start thinking about it. Dedicated lines spur more development/confidence in long term growth than a bus. Not to say that I don't also want the bus system expanded 🚌
