I posted on May 25th about the specific problem of public transportation to Pensacola Beach, and how there is no where near enough bus service.

I was thinking mainly of downtown with I-20 and where I-75 and 85 meet, but most freeways inside the perimeter could go.

For real, I-75 and I-20 both are deserving of being on here.

From the numbers I found on the CTS website, there were 85,000 passengers in March. That's 2,700 per day for an 8 line system, which isn't bad especially considering the size of the city. Frequency definitely would bump the numbers up though; people don't want to have to wait an hour for a bus.

You make good points here, but that price tag difference is still genuinely insane and unwarranted. There needs to be policy changes to make the building off public housing, and anything by the government, easier and less stifled with regulations and setbacks.

What's your opinion on the shift of priority that the Mayor of Atlanta has had on where light rail would be placed? He originally wanted to prioritize the Eastside of the trail, but has now said he wants to serve the South side first due to their transit dependency.

I think something else might be the way that blocks are divided into parcels; it's not as common to have a developer build an entire block, especially in denser areas. They probably take as much room up as they can to maximize the amount of units and floor space they can have, instead of courtyards.

This is great advertising, but also great for allowing people to get familiar with and used to transit at a younger age.

Just curious on how a change could be implemented to encourage developments with courtyards instead of alleyways? It feels like alleyways are sort of already the status quo in much of North America.
