"...A federal agency is taking a second look at the plans amid criticism it was too focused on cars, but in a clash with city planning officials, leaders of the bus industry are voicing their own concerns: They say growth in their mode of transportation is missing from the vision. Plans for a slimmed-down bus deck have caught the attention of the industry, which argues the Federal Railroad Administration proposal is flawed in accommodating intercity and charter bus operations. They point to plans that could downsize bus space by as much as 72 percent at a time when other large cities are expanding the role of buses...."

BTW: That's a great thread title |
