how is transit where you live?
>2009, volusia county, florida, united states
>county commissions transit study
>it details every aspect of every viable public transport mode in a 160 page report
>commuter rail, trams, buses, light rail, its all there with proposed stations, listed advantages, routes, costs and everything else a /n/ autist could want
>skip 12 years later to 2021
>county concensus is to continue building only bigger roads while allowing more apartments and suburbs where there is already congestion
>local bus still doesnt service the massive shopping district and surrounding apartments that were built within the last 3-5 years (probably to keep the poor out)
>not one mention of other transit methods
>racing to be number #1 worst city for pedestrian deaths in the USA (we are already #5)
did i mention you can even drive on the beach? everything in this God forsaken county is BBC (Built for Big Cars). the only improvement is the ONE sunrail station (commuter rail) at the very edge of the county where almost nobody lives. they havent even finished the 2nd station - the other one of two planned stations (also in the middle of nowhere)
