Articulated buses would be nice. But yeah I share your concern on that. I typically get on at Victor Vaughn and the drivers always struggle making that downhill corner. I can always expect a curb clipped maybe once or twice a week.

I don't think it's necessarily intended to stimulate business growth, rather move people from one busy commuter location to another. Like Pierpont to CC Little. Again, I don't know much about this plan other than what I've seen in a few advisory drawings. Regardless, there is planning going on for a "high circulatory system"
