Make urban buses fare-free. Only then will urban planning make any sense.

Duncan McFetridge ~ Occupy San Diego Teach-In Sunday, Nov. 6! | transitsandiego


Duncan McFetridge ~ Occupy San Diego Teach-In Sunday, Nov. 6! | transitsandiego:

  • Banks are not the leaders of corruption in SD. It’s the developers in San Diego who are plundering.
  • Freeway-based infrastructure is inherently unsustainable.
  • We can’t do transit halfway. ‘Balance’ doesn’t work – you can’t piecemeal transit infrastructure and expect it will work. It needs to be a complete system to function.
  • Auto-based society inherently isolates the young and the elderly.
  • Transportation moves goods & people. Freeways only move people to sprawl subdivisions. Transit connects community & jobs.
  • Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a false choice and “fake transit”: it’s designed only to move those too poor to afford personal vehicles slowly through our county, not efficiently.
