Daily News | Revamping Philly’s bus system isn’t easy | Morning Newsletter
Over the past decade, at least seven transit systems — including Houston, Baltimore and Miami — knew they had to overhaul their systems to combat plummeting ridership.Baltimore’s bus system got a makeover in 2017 after former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan canceled the $2.9 billion Red Line light rail. He pledged $135 million for a bus network redesign, saying the city would get more impact for less.
Last fall, 20% to 25% of bus trips were canceled on many routes daily.Houston’s bus routes changed overnight in August 2015. It was disruptive, but the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County had political cover. Improved transit was high on former Mayor Annise Parker’s priority list before the process began. Houston saw a 7% increase in transit usage in the first year after the change.
