I Tried Taking the Bus...

description

Buses can be an amzaing form of public transit if they are implemented properly. Bus rapid transit is coming to Tulsa, Oklahoma, but it needs to be designed in a way that works for the city. In this video, I try taking a standard city bus in Tulsa, and I talk to experts from the INCOG Tulsa Planning office and Tulsa Transit who are working to improve the quality of bus transit in our city. They also have a plan to incentivize more dense and walkable land use around BRT lines, which will make walking more feasible in the city. In the future, Tulsa may be a walkable, multi-modal city, but today it is far from that vision.
