Shocker: Editorial LiveJournalists praise METRO
Matt Bramanti calls our attention to this praise for METRO from the Chronicle's Editorial LiveJournalists:
Despite those cost increases and the expensive, locally financed construction of the Main Street light rail line, Metro has kept its spending flat while preserving its $1 base fare.
Overall spending has been flat despite increased operating and light-rail construction costs?
Phrasing it that way allows the Editorial LiveJournalists to ignore METRO's related cuts to bus service, the core of the area's mass transit system.
Of course, METRO promised a 50% increase in bus service in the METRO Solutions plan approved by voters in 2003. As we now know, though, METRO really doesn't think the specifics of the METRO Solutions contract with voters really must be adhered to all that closely.
