paying for public transport is a problem.. but shouldn’t be if the priority for transportation dollars was public transport…
the viaduct project is a good example… why is there no public transport component being proposed as part of that project?
i know the short answer… that it is a state hwy.. but the entire project is within the city of seattle and the downtown area…
perhaps we could fund public transport by simply raising the cost of parking in the downtown core… with rates more in keeping with game parking at the stadium… it would suddenly become cost effective to take the bus.. and the increased demand would necessitate better service.
We could still make exceptions for people with disabilities…
and maybe those who bought an expensive all parking pass..
hehehe.. this has possibilities..
but not if you have to vote on it.
after all.. this is the city that called for a vote to avoid paying for the increased costs associated with plastic bags at the supermarket…
penny wise and pound foolish to the extreme…
