The city can't support the 30k cars that would be needed for the people taking tech busses (no room to park that many cars).. so if we stopped the tech busses some of those people would move closer to work without busses; others would take Caltrain. Both of those things would reduce congestion, and pollution more than tech busses.
We don't know the exact number that this would reduce because the tech bus legislation passed without the environmental study that is required (hence why there is a lawsuit right now).
- the_watcher 11y agoThat's a major assumption to make. Plenty of people who work in the South Bay or East Bay without access to a tech bus already drive.
- chrischen 11y agoWhat you just said is that it would increase congestion to the point where they would move closer to work. They wouldn't move closer to work if they could still drive their cars to work. They can't drive to cars to work because there are no busses and there is massive congestion.
