Everything is comparative. Sacramento Regional Transit is a marginal service with a myopic focus on downtown commuters when compared to, say, transit options available in the Bay Area. But RT is a progressive visionary when compared to the new Texas City Connect bus service that will debut at 9 a.m. Oct. 20 outside the Texas City City Hall.
According to a small piece in the Houston Chronicle the new bus service will run weekdays, except holidays, at 45-minute intervals from 6:15 a.m. to 6:10 p.m.
Now if this sounds a bit crazy or, at best, not well thought through, consider this: "The service will be operated by Connect Transit, owned by the Gulf Coast Center, which provides mental health services for Galveston and Brazoria counties."
Texas not = transit-friendly.
ReplyDeleteJust look at the city of Arlington. Still the largest city in the USA without general public transit service.
