As the state’s population grows, more travel options are needed in rural and smaller urban areas and between major cities, according to a draft of the first-of-its-kind plan.

    So you’re saying that people driving from Dallas to San Antonio isn’t a good long term solution as the state population grows? Unbelievable.

    I really don’t get what the obsession with driving is. I hate driving though, so I’m obviously biased. But by pretty much every metric, alternative methods of transportation can be way better than driving, especially at scale.
