here in CT we spent hundreds of millions of dollars paving 9 miles of road and built a busway into hartford. there’s no traffic, as only the buses can ride in it. the buses are cheap to ride, subsidized by the state. they are state of the art low emission buses. and nobody rides them.

Well, you are a Republican in Connecticut….
And the people who took 11,448 average weekday local and express passenger trips were not in cars.
Ridership is increasing, but go ahead and rant.
Remember we all subsidize roads and the fossil fuel industry.
Utah has an extensive mass transit system, they too must be liberal.
