Crappy Eugene BRT Offers Free Rides
The Emerald Express (EmX) BRT runs in the Eugene-Springfield metro area. The peope who designed the system expected overflow crowds, so they did what any optimistic BRT operator would do - they made it free to ride.
First, check out the propaganda video - and watch for the disappearing cyclist - who didn’t even have a bike lane:
Now check out this freaky video from some kid in Eugene who apparently wants to be a new cheesy anchor (sorry, not embeddable).
LTD is the lame-named transit organization responsible for this EmX disaster. But have no fear - they’re going to let residents vote on which parts of their transit services they want to cut.
Be careful, LTD - that whole ‘democracy’ thing is a double-edged sword. You were probably not that trusting of democracy, though - you probably kept the EmX off ‘the cut list’ didn’t you?

Notice how at the end of their jingle they had the words “no clicity clack”
Bogus Rapid Transit indeed!
