Then a route from downtown to and from the west side

Once all of greater Cincinnati is connected then have a route to and from Dayton...then Columbus...then Indianapolis...then Lexington...then Louisville.
Make Union Terminal the main hub like it used to be.
Great ideas. I think a similar proposal was actually on the board decades ago - and following the existing interstates would have made construction easy and almost guaranteed ridership as you are putting people on the same route they would be on any way but they don't have to drive and instead of staring at traffic that isn't moving while sitting in it they can stare at it as they cruise past it or do something else like read or play pocket pool. It is amazing how vehement opposition has been to this and continues to be. WTF is wrong with people. Did they resist the horse for decades? The horse drawn carriage? The automobile? The paved road? The interstate?
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
