The Bus With No Direction

Planners say their proposed bus rapid transit A.R.T. can do many things. For example:

  • The A.R.T. is for commuters who need to get to work faster.
  • The A.R.T. will help return Central Avenue to a neighborhood street by slowing down traffic.
  • The A.R.T. will encourage economic development along Central.
  • The A.R.T. will provide better security for bus riders.
  • The A.R.T. will replace Albuquerque’s current “worn out” Rapid Ride buses.
  • The A.R.T. is the way of future transportation.

Are any of these statements true?
