Also worth noting about E/358: it used to have a local/limited pattern with lower frequency on each. The local was the 6; the limited was the 359. When Metro consolidated them into the single RapidRide-like 358 with high frequency, ridership went way up, and then up further with the E conversion.

The E is first, and its predecessor the 358 was also first. The D is in the top five… and its predecessors weren’t close.

I, too, want to live in a place where everyone uses transit. A major generator of new riders is improving time competitiveness of transit with driving. We’ve seen large ridership increases from previous RR conversions (D, E, H). KCM could make 7/R faster without the huge gaps in the prior proposal.

Tbh I think transportation can be profitable without government support it’s just there’s massive returns to scale so you end up with a monopoly or extremely inefficient competition.

It’s going to be option 4, I don’t see much in recent experience to suggest otherwise. Whether or not the gas tax is formally abolished we have in practice moved road funding over to the general fund.
