Kudos to Bruce Sawhill’s (October 16, 2016) reasoned and factually- supported proposal to get off the dime and start using the rail corridor’s tremendous potential for moving people around the county. Now, imagine a fleet of small shuttle buses running back and forth on all the streets that intersect the tracks; picking up passengers throughout the neighborhoods and taking them to the rail line; with other shuttles taking passengers off the rail to their final destination: school, work, shopping, dining, entertaining, you name it. That rail corridor can be the backbone of a public transit system second to none. Instead of very large buses running at infrequent intervals, on serpentine, difficult-to- follow routes, there would be a fleet of small buses running at frequent intervals back and forth on simple routes. Practically everyone living in this county could catch a shuttle bus a short walk from home and transfer to a line that could take them anywhere else in the county they want to go. What’s more, the whole system can be put into effect without requiring any taxpayer money. Sawhill is right. We should quit dancing around the subject, and give people of Santa Cruz County the transportation system they deserve. Heaven knows it has been debated enough.
