Re: "Council candidate longs for longer buses," Oct. 19.
I always wonder if [COPE candidate] Tim Louis does any feasibility research on his schemes before he opens his mouth. Granted there is such a thing as a threesection bus that carries 50 more passengers than the two section buses that now operate on the 99 B-Line. However, in cities where those longer buses operate they're on flat routes.
The 99 B-line buses go slow enough already up hill on 10th Avenue. Can you imagine how slow an even longer bus will go up that hill? Not what I would call rapid transit.
