Remember, many small business operators are culturally predisposed to believe that all their trade comes in by car. They tend to be skeptical about the idea that any significant volume of desirable customers use transitBut it does. Car trunks carry far more merchandise than bags in hand being lugged onto a LRT do. Now bars and restaurants would be better suited to the rail traveler, what with the matter of going home afterwards and not driving. Hence the 1950s bustitution of SF Muni’s 38-Geary Line, which should have been one of the strongest in the system Nothing to do with commerce. Buses carry no more goods than trolleys do. That was a pure MUNI folly. |
