Meanwhile, more highway widening, flyovers, etc. There is always $ for road widening, but when it comes to transit -- nada. Highways and roads are a subsidized public good. Transit should be considered likewise.
The sheer volume of people using the bus from Swartz Bay is a good thing, but where will the airport passengers sit with their luggage? I had ridden the 70 bus standing up all the way from Swartz Bay to downtown. Also, the frequency of any bus serving airport needs to be at least 3 per hour.
