who said that they did?
in a
RIGIDLY gridded city such as ours, an east/west and a north/south leg are required for many trips for a great many chicagoans, regardless of transportation mode.
i mean, both the ashland and western bus routes are among the top 10 busiest routes in the entire city by ridership, but somehow you have no idea at all where all of those people might be going? really?
BRT on ashland or western doesn't mean that everyone would switch to transit, it would just mean MUCH better transit for those who do use it on those corridors, along with inducing more choice riders if it truly is bona fide BRT that meaningfully reduces the dismal travel times of the conventional bus routes currently in place on those corridors.
