By their own evaluation it provides no improvement over the existing system, fares will double, there will be no increase in ridership, and it will "only" cost $500 million. It is a travesty, I am in favor of anything that can kill this stupid project. The OAC as currently envisioned is probably one of the worst transit projects ever conceived of.

We're talking about an agency that has had the Oscar Grant shooting, the OAC fiasco, and a near-strike this year alone.

Add in a stop or two and you have a legitimate addition to the transit network. and half-billion dollar OAC with no intermediate stops between Coliseum and the airport is a stupid boondoggle.
