V'o r, you're right, transit will be more expensive to operate, transport less people, and increase travel times and congestion for everybody.  

OurMoneyOurTrasit (OMOT) will remind all the "decision makers" of all the predicts LTD advertised to get them to approve the route.  

It seems the EmX projects have become more about funding and self-preservation of a bloated LTD administrative staff, than it is about providing affordable, sustainable, and sensible public transit.
