Camas resident challenges IBR light rail with ridership data
Published 3 weeks ago
Description
Douglas Tweet presents compelling C-TRAN ridership data showing bus use across the I-5 bridge has dropped by half since 2006, questioning the IBR's $3.5 billion light rail investment when current Route 60 serves just 900 daily boardings. His analysis challenges IBR forecasts predicting 20-fold ridership growth by 2045, citing TriMet's history of inflated projections that consistently exceed reality. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/letter-update-extremely-low-bus-ridership-does-not-justify-expensive-trimet-light-rail/ #IBR #LightRail #Transportation #ClarkCounty #PublicTransit #BusRidership #TriMet #I5Bridge #TransitData #TaxWaste
