Willie, if you really think mass transit boondoggles are not a waste, try coming to town and looking at that giant useless tunnel they’re digging under the Allegheny.

BTW, PAT is again claiming it has no funds to operate its normal routes and must raise fares and cut services.

[Willie Green]

No problem... as soon as they finish the tunnel for the "T" next year, PAT won't need as many stinking buses to cross to the North Side using the bridges.

It'll be a good thing to get the PAT buses off the downtown streets.
The streets are all too narrow, and the buses don't fit well with other downtown traffic.

[Willie Green]

You know Dave, what PAT really oughta do is bore another tunnel from Steel Plaza Station Downtown, and burrow under the Hill District anat, and pop-up out of the ground in Oakland somewhere between Pitt and Carnegie-Mellon. I figure close to the museum would be a good compromise spot between the two schools.

That'll not only provide much higher ridership for the "T", it'll get even more of those PAT buses off those narrow Downtown streets!
