Beware the perfect people mover--March 12, 2000 (1143 words)
Yaroslavsky is right that the new buses -- hopefully powered by clean fuel and not the dirty diesel that's standard in Brazil's buses -- are a cheaper and faster way to move more people.
Zev has put a lot of work into this, consulted with the best planners around, and I think he is on the side of commuters and not contractors.
Zev is the man on the spot on this, so e-mail him at zev@bos.co.la.ca.us and ask lots of questions; it's your money and your gridlock.
