This piece just lacks any real merit about transportation in Orange County. It basically restates the obvious: the state is in extreme peril fiscally and public transit in OC suffers in a down economy. Why not talk about the hiring of new CEO Will Kempton who leads by example by taking public transit to work. What about OCTA's ARCTIC initiative -- which has the potential to be a the primary nexus in Southern California mass transit and long range traveling with plans to connect to Las Vegas through high speed rail.
Just because LA Metro garners all the glitz and glamour of "subways to the sea" and "Look new turnposts! We're just like New York now right?" does not mean the rest of So. California transportation is going through a downward spiral. Everyone is hurting right now -- bad journalism just falls into the constraints of bad taste. Everyone knows that OC will be automobile-friendly for quite some time -- if better information, however, were passed along then maybe a few more people would realize that strides are being taken to improve major issues.
