Trapped in Scripps Ranch
There are a lot of specialized transit options in the county - I know of at least one called Rides and Smiles by JFS - that fill in that gap. I don't think you realize how expensive paratransit is for MTS to operate. Yeah, it sucks that we've built out neighborhoods that literally demand you buy a car to go to work or get groceries. What a terrible way to be forced to live. I googled it and there are lots of articles that explain the cost of paratransit and why agencies have to farm that service out. https://usa.streetsblog.org/2016/09/20/how-transi…— August 15, 2018 5:59 p.m.
Trapped in Scripps Ranch
Scripps Ranch is a transit desert for a reason. A route there would likely attract 1 boarding an hour, if that. We've built extremely car dependent communities and then choose to live there. We can't blame MTS for focusing their limited resources where they can serve more people. If SR wants a route they'd have to show that they'd use it. (What are the chances that people in SR would agree to increasing taxes to fund a transit line? The chances that they'd laugh in your face are high). Piehl's best bet is to utilize those specialized transit non-profit services. The SR Planning group could help advertise them.— August 15, 2018 9:30 a.m.
