Buses save the transit backbone (again)

CHRON.COM posts that Texas Children's Hospital is building a bridge that will require closing a part of Fannin this weekend.

Apparently, this will shut down the entire Main Street streetcar line that METRO has, at times, called its transit backbone. Fortunately, buses are available to get people around.

Meanwhile, METRO is moving full speed ahead to lay more glorified streetcar lines down busy streets.
