Anyone following the Nashville transit referendum? Nashville’s seen incredible growth the last decade but has basically zero transit (and not even an Amtrak route) and terrible traffic. Transit is the most obvious dollar-for-dollar improvement you can make for residents there.https://nashvillebanner.com/2024/09/05/nashville-transportation-referendum-2/
No
The guy who financed the campaign against the transit expansion is a car salesman. Tells you all you need to know.
>>2024155ha, when I was a kid, I used to take the 3 West End to highschool every day. one day I missed the bus and rode my bike instead, realized it was faster and have bike commuted to work and school ever since whenever possible. haven't lived in Nashville since the early 90s, though.
Uh yeah, that’s based. This town has grown so fast and built so many apartments everywhere, any new transit project’s going to get good ridership.https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/11/05/nashville-transit-referendum-election-results/75918047007/
Seems like cities are more and more often voting for upgraded transit even if the state DOTs are trying to force highways down their throat.
