Yes there maybe a handful of bar or restaurant employees that may use the late night service, but not enough to justify the service. As for buses paralleling the RTL lines, that was total failure when tried in the mid-2000's. Shut it down and keep it shut down. Score a rare win for the taxpayers.

I'm not too upset that this iteration is dying because it was a half-baked proposal to begin with and seemed designed more to cater to late night revelers than to the needs of third-shift workers. What is needed is an analysis that looks at where the need is greatest and how to best meet those needs, even if the system used buses paralleling the rapid transit routes to start with.Jim D.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293100068373105830.post-66834380379298815642016-03-01T07:10:34.628-08:002016-03-01T07:10:34.628-08:00I feel like this points to the need to advocate fo...I feel like this points to the need to advocate for strong performance metrics when introducing pilot services.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152761577051109561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293100068373105830.post-66611909378075835272016-02-29T17:30:56.580-08:002016-02-29T17:30:56.580-08:00Thanks for the insights.
