Mass Transit Nashville

My hometown wants to institute an express public bus service (that will never be self-supporting but that will be partially paid for with Federal funds) from East Nashville to the major Catholic hospital in West Nashville. The project called "AMP" is expected to cost millions of dollars but is projected to only increase ridership by twenty-three passengers per day. AMP will take lanes away from other vehicle traffic and disrupt access to businesses along the Broadway-West End corridor, which is the so-called main drag of Music City. The project does not make sense economically, but is supported by Mayor Karl Dean and his rubber stamp Metro Council, despite more opposition from the public than support. I am virtually certain the plan will be implemented as Mayor Dean and his progressives want, because they have not thought of a better way to squander that which has been confiscated from taxpayers.
