Don't trash (talk) the nati'
Welcome to c/cincinnati - a community for Cincinnati, OH
“Obviously, nothing in America works well without cash. You need money,” Bloom said. “You need the kind of sustained investment in both operating and capital over decades. Then you can offer the first-class rail and buses but also the frequency and the quality of service that will make people say 'I can live in this apartment' or 'I can give up my car.' I don't think there are a ton of places in the U.S. you can say that."
Exactly.
I like to think that even with downtown Cincinnati being kind of empty lately that proper and well designed transit would help in both directions. Connecting the suburbanites like myself get downtown, as well as some people downtown possibly up into our commercial wasteland suburbs. At the very least I like to think the amount of people I saw riding the bus to get to work up at Kings Island would benefit from other non-Kings Island things.
I would think so. Being well connected is a good thing in its own right.
The idea of a downtown is almost dead now. Especially in government type towns/cities where the downtown core is a lot of government employees and restaurants that only Cather from the hours of 11am-3pm
