@monicamallon @asmallteapot That higher ridership existed before we had BRT. It also predated the ride-sharing industry, and scooters, and bike-share. In other words, the world has changed, and the landscape is different. Nearly every US city has seen transit ridership drop in recent years. (1/2) — PolitiTweet.org

@monicamallon @asmallteapot (2/2) I agree that BRT is more cost-effective that LRT, & wd happily invest in more where we have resources & it makes sense, but we can’t simply throw more money at transit and hope that “if we fund it, they will come.” The data tells us that we need to be much more strategic — PolitiTweet.org
