Salt Lake Transit News Thread

[Smuttynose1]

If we throw up freeways constantly -- anytime that we even anticipate increased development or traffic delays, then we doom transit because driving remains eminently faster and more efficient, and hence more attractive, for commuters. Driving I-15 through Salt Lake City at rush-hour is a cakewalk relative to other freeways through major cities. It's certainly not the only determinant or even the most important one, but in American cities where transit seems to attract the highest ridership levels, driving tends not to be an absolute cakewalk.
