Express instead of Zig Zag, rearrange public transit in La Crosse Wisconsin

To rearrange the public transit system in La Crosse Wisconsin from slow zig zag, to express bus on main roads meeting with neighborhood vans on call. This includes implementing bicycle rental, downtown quick access trolley type vans, connections to neighboring towns, and to get ready for reviving intercity regional rail connections.

Why is this important?

Fundamental change in public transit in La Crosse Wisconsin from the existing slow zig zag, to express bus meeting with neighborhood vans. La Crosse is long and narrow with 3 main north/south roads, so we need 3 express bus routes. Neighborhood vans on call to take you out to the express bus. Bicycles to rent out at bus stations. Regular downtown quick access vans. And connections with neighboring towns.

Reducing traffic costs is the main political point for public transit. Reducing road construction maintenance, expensive parking ramps for a special interest, traffic accidents killing and maiming our children, air water pollution, All these costs can be reduced with a more balanced overall transportation policy that
reduces traffic with transit.

Transit reduces traffic, so it saves more than it costs. Bicycles reduce traffic, also saving costs. Transit is a main economic engine for a community, benefiting everyone especially new families. Changing the basic set up from slow zig zag, to express bus meeting with neighborhood vans, will open up new opportunities for all members of our community.
