Interesting transportation things

Meeting the needs of the people would clearly involve building a paved road and installing even so much as dropping in a 1 lane prefab bailey bridge type thing there, so that way conventional minibuses and trucks could transport people and goods in and out that area.

Yeah I get it, however, my comment was meant to be in jest and more along the lines that it's more rail transit than provided in some US cities.

I gotcha. There's a comment on there, "even the jungle has better public transit than the US", lol

So to change the subject, another thing that popped up in my youtube recommendations.

I never realized the Phoenix deck park tunnel was designed with an underground bus station in between the two highway tunnels.

Given that directly above is the Central Avenue LRT line and the deck park area above is now surrounded by development including a ASU branch campus, I wonder how doable reviving this would be?

Sometimes I wonder if freeway BRT is under-utilized as a concept. Stations inside of freeway medians are usually terrible because they are hard to access for pedestrians and unpleasant due to the noise/exhaust, etc. But T-ramps and putting the station outside of the highway can also be a thing for example in Houston.

12 News: Have you been inside Phoenix's forgotten underground bus station?

Looks like Covington is finally invading Cincinnati.
