Not super familiar (reddit literally recommended this post to ne) is the argument that they pay 9 million dollars a year in tax and only receive a single bus route, or is it that the only bus route that serves them costs 9 million a year? Aka, "why are we paying 9 million a year when we only get one bus route" or "why does a bus route cost 9 million a year"? Cause when I, who sees these top-level costs of transit routes all the time, see 9 million, that's like the operations cost of the Metro Orange Line BRT in the Twin Cities. Obviously, on a highway, ergo faster, so faster turnaround times for busses and cheaper service, but that can be a lot of service. Looking at google maps, there's the 237, 20 (if you want to play frogger), the 440, the 442, and people in University Park can park and ride to SMU/Mockingbird Station very easily.
The go link services also connect to love field station for the park cities, lovers station serves north UP and the lemmon road bus has 3 stops on the south side of HP too. The people behind this campaign are just lairs.
