Letter | Bus trail provides safer, effective transportation - Santa Cruz Sentinel

rintihoh.blogspot.com

Rather continue wasting the 30+ mile corridor, why not implement a safe bus-trail? This will accommodate all who appreciate a safe and useful trail as well as those desiring rapid commutes from where they are to where they want to be for a reasonable cost./

Appropriate for now or any future would be to:

• Allow rubber-wheeled electric buses (presently available to METRO) to travel unimpeded alongside a 30+ mile trail, by covering or removing the aging single-track.

• Allow these buses to exit anywhere along this corridor including direct connections to the existing Watsonville and Santa Cruz Transit infrastructures as well as interleaving popular destinations to minimize transfers.

• Connections to the pending Highway 1 bus on shoulder lane would then provide safe complete loops without dangerous “backtracking” (and potential head-on collisions) required by ANY rail system on a single linear track. (Don’t overlook, reality found a flaw with the “unsinkable” Titanic.)
