If so, the equivalent for NYC would include some of the crappy regional highway proposals like the Tappan Zee widening.Cap'n Transithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057887736728828646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-27632078444284082002009-06-05T15:52:32.008-07:002009-06-05T15:52:32.008-07:00Really?

As I'm sure you know, for pollution, efficiency, social structure and carnage, what matters is not how much transit there is, but getting people to shift from cars to more sustainable modes. To do that, you need to reduce the <a href="http://capntransit.blogspot.com/2008/04/douglas-adams-wrote-that-in-infinite.html" rel="nofollow">relative value of driving</a>.<br /><br />It doesn't matter how much transit capacity you build if you simultaneously build more car capacity. It's good to see that people like Chiu get this.<br /><br />And no, I'm not sure that our plan is much better than yours. We've still got way too many highway widening plans on the table.Cap'n Transithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057887736728828646noreply@blogger.com
