Pure thought experiments, on behalf of a modern philosopher, gadfly, empiricist, who happens to be very charming and good looking.

NIMBY
Racism hidden behind the concept of public saftey.
Hidden? Not so well hidden! I can understand why citizens don't want buses on their streets...but to specifically call out a route? I'm assuming that the #6 bus would be OK as it runs through Uptown, vs. #14 which runs down West Broadway and Bloomington Ave. NIMBY always rests on the premise of public safety... but at the end of the day, it comes down to an intolerant, xenophobic society...

Nice neighbors, Brian!
When I lived on Mtka blvd, I HATED those damn buses, they literally shook my house and that deisel exhaust, damn.
Selfish I know but I hated those damn buses on my street.
