And the infrastructure is definitely lacking in LA. You can't just tell people to use public transport and have like one bus an hour that takes you 3 miles from where you need to be.
Well you just transfer 5 or 6 times between municipal bus systems dummy!
I looked up getting downtown by bus one time from 15 miles away, would have taken 3 municipal system transfers, a long with their crappy wait times. No one is getting out of a car with that.
That's great, let's hope they invest in the infrastructure needed to make it convenient.
Bass said the city will utilize 3,000 buses loaned to it from around the country to ease traffic congestion. The U.S. government last month pledged $900 million to help improve the city's rail and bus systems in anticipation of the Games.
That's interesting, thanks. So just throwing a bunch of buses at the problem and flexible work hours was all it took. You would think you could do this permanently easily day to day, especially with WFH being an option for many.
Make public transport free and make it extensive. I'm sure ridership will skyrocket. If they keep it the way it is or let Musk build another one of his Tesla tunnels, they're going to have a bad time.
I mean if they're saying no cars, then all the athletes and judges and higher up exec types, the news, everyone should be riding the bus. If it doesn't apply to the "special" people, it shouldn't apply to anyone.
