Certain things that I hoped would never be almost completely free – like music – turned out that way, leaving tens of thousands of small garage-bands without any gigs, better bands with fewer gigs, and most of […]

I have been writing about changes in bus structures and accommodations (see https://transalt.com/article/survival-and-prosperity-part-2-the-magic-coach/ ), fare structures (see https://transalt.com/article/low-income-certification-why-not-motorcoaches/ and https://transalt.com/article/congestion-pricing-how-it-can-make-sense/ ), controlling cars (see https://transalt.com/article/controlling-cars-the-last-frontier-of-public-transportation/), increased usage of motorcoaches in transit service (see […]
