Is U2C serious? Help me make it make sense....

^I think bad JTA leadership has damaged this success for the foreseeable future. I do think finishing the JRTC was a good success story. I wish they would have focused more on practical improvements to the transit system and operations than burning millions on NAVI and related vacations across the globe.

There was certainly plenty of room for ambitious leadership at JTA that still accomplished the basics of effective regional mass transit. The JRTC and the Flyer existing at all were proof of that. It has instead proven an enormous waste of opportunity cost to have so deeply oriented the agency around the U2C program, at the expense of meaningfully moving the ball forward on other projects. Now the next leader will be stuck digging out of the hole left by Ford & Co before being able to actually move things forward.
