Does anybody have a pass anymore? I assume my $4 (or whatever you put in change in the bus faregate since they don't really care) covers more than the cost of stopping for me and letting me off and the extra gas from my weight no?

I don't think there is any savings to making complete streets. There are obvious capital savings to not expanding the airport parkway I'm just saying the idea that Uhaniau doesn't use it but his food sits in traffic on that route so it matters to him is dubious.
