CE_ugh Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 The O-bahn design doesnt look to bad but the American versions are horrible. I would never want to live in Las Vegas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexAmerican_Moose Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 ugh....they look lie regular busses...i still think that the Harrisburg line should be light rail instead of BRT...the ridership potential is there..i guess light rail is so much more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arguements about ridership numbers are stupid. People voted for trains, give them trains. Putting that glorified bus garbage into play and dressing it to look like a train is like pissing down someones back and attempting to tell them its raining.

zaphod Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 ugh...that O bahn in essen is nice but it looks so trashy... they have to mow that grass.but yeah, thats beside the point.personally, I think BRT is a great idea to connect with the rail. You could more riders if you have clean and fast buses connecting all the stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricco67 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I'm still curious if a tunnel will be built for the BRT like it was proposed originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Doesn't Seattle have some sort of bus tunnel system? Is it the same thing as this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTrain Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 ^^^Yes, but because of the LRT under construction there, it closed last year and will STAY closed until next year. After that, LRT will run thru, and only hybrid buses will run there from now on due to the electric conversion from trolley buses to LRT. Bad news for trolley buses.

Guest danax Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hopefully our BRT vehicles won't look as gaudy as those. They look like casino buses. Hey, if they are gaudy, maybe that will help get the ridership levels up when you add up all of the old folks who'll mistakenly board thinking they're going to Coushatta.

Talbot Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 The O-bahns are pretty cool, especially how they look like a stray bus just driving out of the foliage out of nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
