Boulder needs a night bus service
Oct 12th
For 40 years I have been writing to the city of Boulder about having a
Night bus service. This is a service that would run every hour to select bus stops all over the entire city from midnight to 5:00 am when the regular buses start. It would help students and others from being stranded in the middle of the night. It would only take one or two buses.
I used this service when I lived in Great Britain. It is called the Green Line Night bus service. It begins at 11:00 pm and stops at 5:30 am
A Boulder green line could use 2 buses and run all over the city in a 1 hour loop and comes every hour to each stop.
It would run all the way to Gunbarrel, north Boulder, Table Mesa, where ever a bus goes. It would skip stops and have specific Green line stops .
This is good so people do not get stranded in the middle of the night when the buses stop including weekends
High density and urbanization mean death to Boulder
Oct 11th
In a weird twist of economics, high density cities do not deliver an economy of scale to consumers. High density cities charge more for goods and services than any other place in the nation.
