Another sign that this is a yuppie shuttle...
The city is trying to force Greyhound to move their bus terminal off of West Gray and Main St. Not because it gets too much or too little traffic, but because it is "unsightly" to the new residents in the area. Look for the city to pick up the tab on the new terminal if they move.
The downtown establishment is about lining their pockets, not improving Houston.
That's one of the big reasons the voters killed high speed rail here in Florida back in 2004. When Disney demanded that part of the Orlando system run from Orlando International Airport to the gates of their theme parks, instead of going toward downtown, and when Disney got that concession, it helped show what the thing was really going to be. Nothing more than a taxpayer-subsidized trolley at the service of South Florida liberals who wanted to take their grandkids to Disney World and not have to rub elbows with us grubby unwashed hicks along the highways leading there.
