Buses are a massive DISEASE VECTOR, always have been, and now you could DIE from riding a bus, regardless of how much they clean it, all it takes is one infected asshole who refuses to wear a fucking mask.
Scrap all the buses. It is now the age of the PERSONAL CAR whether you like it or not.

He says blatantly untrue things.
Doesn't possess a college degree but claims to be a researcher.
Is employed by an oil company and -big coincidence- shills for whatever sells the most oil.

Even other libertarians are embarassed by him.

Professional troll and shill.

He signed up for Oregon’s VMT tax pilot so he has some integrity when it comes to cages paying their fair share of road costs.

As a temporary stopgap for a complete system rehab, that's probably the best thing you can do until construction is done

If it was a private sector initiative, without tax gibs, similar to UberPool but using vans and minibuses, maybe.

But I doubt it could still replace a metro, I would look for ways to improve it too.
Verify why people don't like it, how to scare naggers away, how to improve the service, possible technologies to be used...

He claims to be a libertarian but also fights against increased property rights in his neighborhood. The hypocrisy’s hilarious.

Nice link, I hope you read it and learn what a "no true scotsman" argument is.

Randal O'Toole is a blatant hypocrite and shill for his oil boss.

I've been to his site several times and noticed glaring contradictions on his posts. Especially his dumbass deabte with Scott Beyer (who shouldn't have even humored O'Toole because he's a known hack).
On the one hand, O'Toole says Americans prefer single-family homes in single-family neighborhoods (nothing wrong with that) but he also points out that housing in walkable areas commands a much higher price.
He also fills his posts with a LOT of fluff and conjecture.
The guy's in the Kochs' pocket and just writing whatever they tell him to.

I'm not sure how replacing an existing subway/rail system with buses, in an already crowded street environment is going to improve things.

Tankie shill. In one of his posts he claimed that buses are getting less fuel efficient, while supplying no evidence.
