^This is what the people who are making educated comments are arguing about.
The plans they have today are not much better in relation to the decisions that were made 30 years ago.
Futureproofing infrastructure should be a priority, but so much effort is spent on cleaning up shit from yesteryears that there aren't enough resources to do it.
I understand it's a pickle, and maybe people are making unreasonable demands, but the point is the way it's going now, my children will be arguing about your children about the exact same things.
What is the solution? I donno. I agree that we can't "compare" ourselves to other cities, due to excellent points made on population densities. But ironically that's what Translink seems to be doing, and they're looking in all the wrong places.
I know people that work there aren't idiots. They must have many certificates lining the walls of their offices, and have much more experience than I do. But then how come so many bad decisions are made that are incomprehensible. Is it that they're exponentially smarter than I am that i can't even begin to get it? No, I don't think so.
Truth is, I don't think there's anyone smart enough (and not greedy enough) to step up and pull Translink out of the shithole. The public views them as an evil necessity, politicians use them to get more votes, and the people left suffering in the end, is everybody; whether they're transit users, public road drivers, or even Translink employees.
This thread alone is proof of how Translink is a mess lol. 8 pages of arguments and each and every one of them is valid (again, minus the retards.)
