They're addressing one problem, and one problem only.
Adding a bus line isn't sexy, even bus rapid transit (BRT) sounds like a wet fart. They work, they can work extremely well, but nobody gets excited about it.
This thing is just like a monorail; something worse than a bus but that sounds sexier.
- Schiendelman 1y agoInterestingly, in public policy, how sexy something sounds tends to be directly proportional to how much the public is willing to spend. It's often easier to get 10-100x the money of a bus for a rail link.
- closewith 1y agoCVRT is proposed to replace existing BRT for cost, environmental, and safety reasons.
- bombcar 1y agoWhat is CVRT? I'm getting "Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked)" and though that sounds like it would be cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and safer than a bus ;) I doubt it's what you're talking about.
- closewith 1y agoHah, I used to work with a CVRT squadron (Scorpions) back in the day, so I think it was muscle memory. It should read CVLR - my apologies!
