Default Re: Mass Transit Update! - Important

Also, people may be more inclined to support it if they felt it was somewhat substantive. A circular route downtown may appear limited to tourist uses, which may or may not address citizen needs / desires. Were that the case, some people may vote against it.

Hopefully, OKC won't be too timid about going after the transit solutions. The more encompassing it is, the better the city will be in the long run, both in having quality transportation, but also in greater density and a stimulus for greater urban development. This will also lead to more federal investment for the city over time.

Transit is about the most intelligent investment the city could possibly make.
