I hate to be the first one to supplant Chad‘s post without knowing whether the TTA has seen his idea, but I will rely on hope that the same thinking had occurred to them as well. If we can’t get inefficient, 19th-century technology to solve our 21st-century transit problems, then I guess we’ll have to look elsewhere for solutions, maybe even inefficient, mid-20th century, Third-World solutions. What about those dual-purpose rickety buses used in several nations to transport humans and livestock? I understand that another advantage to those is the ease at which people can check in their carrion.
Whatever you do, TTA, don’t expand major interstate and highway corridors. That’d be approaching responsibility, which is strictly forbidden in Article VI, Section 6 (subsection vi) of the Code of Government Work under “Conduct unbecoming a government planner.”
