Triangle Transit has launched a new bus line running from Wake Forest, down Capital Blvd and into Raleigh, almost mirroring the proposed first leg of the Triangle rail line (from Downtown up Capital Blvd to Durant Road).
But, if they run buses there and people then ride the buses, then there won’t be much need for a ridiculously expensive fixed-path train, now will there?
Oh wait, you mean we should actually just increase bus service instead of building $3 billion in rail lines to carry 1/5th the capacity of people? Novel concept, but surely not enough to keep the central planners from their fantasy of taxing us into rail here in the Triangle.
