Ideas for Transit: Intercity
Transit has many important roles to play, it isn't just about getting to work every day. One of the most neglected roles is connecting cities together.
There are four areas that need attention:
- Extending commuter rail from Chicago to close by cities like Milwaukee, Rockford and Kankakee.
- Expanded coverage and increasing frequencies of intercity bus routes
- Upgrading conventional intercity passenger trains with more frequent service and faster speeds.
- Linking key cities with high-speed rail.
