I'm pretty sure that's literally the crux of the problem in Louisville and almost every other Midwestern city in America where the powers that be and a good chunk of the general population think transit is a thing "for the poor people" and see no point in higher public transit related aspirations.

It works well for finding out route info, but not super-helpful when the buses are never running on schedule. I want that real-time bus-tracking that so many other cities have, I guess.Brigid Kaelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159898663097469287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442887359237020894.post-89706563256331257212013-09-13T12:43:49.479-04:002013-09-13T12:43:49.479-04:00Have you tried using GoogleMaps directions with th...Have you tried using GoogleMaps directions with the bus icon checked? It has worked well for me with TARC.

And I have also never understood why there isn't at least a commuter train between Louisville, Frankfort, and Lexington (a local and an express, of course). There are SO many people who make those trips daily. It just doesn't make sense.Brigid Kaelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159898663097469287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6442887359237020894.post-39161416469299889582013-09-13T09:17:56.950-04:002013-09-13T09:17:56.950-04:00Now that we're living in Lyndon and crossing t...Now that we're living in Lyndon and crossing the railroad tracks has become a regular part of our daily lives, I find myself wishing for commuter rail, or some sort of transport system to get downtown and even to other cities. Makes going out and traveling so much easier! Madelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009392600239404790noreply@blogger.com
