I’m all for public transit, but this is probably one of the most car-dependent parts of the country. Who expects them to not think car when they were getting transportation funding? It’s not right, but it’s not going to be easy for them to stuff public transit in rural central Missouri and anticipate getting any return on the costs. More likely to get a bunch of angry hicks with pitchforks.
If they need mega highway expansions it can't be that rural.
How many years could we fund a single bus route for every highway mile built?
Idk i feels like to spearhead public transport future it must be done with government owned/linked company, private will never see any benefits when the profits isn't obvious. Of course this isn't meant to support white elephant project.
