"We're trying to build some enthusiasm."
I did the survey. Really would like whatever route gets the most riders and makes it more successful than it already is.
Would be a boon to getting more transit in this metro.
Most of the routes seem ridiculous to me. Uptown is the obvious choice for ridership due to UC. The NKY routes would have high ridership, but the actual path they have laid out makes no sense. All the other ones are a play for neighborhood improvement not ridership. Though the camp washington one could get a ton of ridership if it was extended to the Northside Transit center, this would tap into a huge park and ride resource, and the highest traffic bus stop in the city.
It seems like every other Transit plan in the city, it's built around a few peoples preferences rather than looking at our transit system wholisticly.
I think part of the problem is- we really need actual mass transit here. Like light rail and more than just 2 BRT routes.
These routes seem like good ideas for a more European city who already has mass transit built in and servicing most people in the metro. Then expanding a streetcar and such makes more sense and isn't that far fetched.
But how would Hamilton county of 2024 vote for metro moves 2.0? I'm not sure.
