ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit
Quote:The next generation  is just going to rip it out! So don't bother touching the environment

Quote:Wasting  money trying to force people not to drive their car

Quote:By having rail thru the downtown cores you impeded thousands of cars and raise travel times and exhaust output. Either stick to the very outskirts and industrial areas or cancel the project.

Quote:You can avoid most the issues by having a gondola system, see #3

Quote:Consider a gondola system for the Cambridge portion of the lrt, somewhat the the capital of Boliva (La Paz) has, see video of it here. https://youtu.be/fUL011b7z2s

Quote:Have you considered that with an increase in electric vehicles there actually be an increase in the total number of cars on the road because they are considered environmentally friendly.  Why would I walk to a bus to get to the LRT to get to bus when I can drive in an environmentally friendly vehicle and arrive quickly in nice weather and bad..


My favourites... The gondola suggestion takes the cake though. I guess they don't realize La Paz essentially sits in a bowl.
