The Beginning Of A Great Adventure

With the explosion of suburbia in post war society cities began to take a new shape, one which was marked by vast highway, expressway, and arterial road projects. People were able to reach all the required amenities and activities from within a greatly enhanced perimeter thanks to the automobile. The suburbs did however cause great harm to the public transit system within many cities due to destinations being scattered and population densities being too low. The problems which public officials faced when it came to creating a reliable and financially sound system of public transit can be seen today. For me, a student who cannot afford a car while paying for school, living in a city like Kelowna can become problematic when public transit is lacking. Over the next couple months I plan to let you all in on some of the good times, the bad times, and the cities plan for improving their system of public transit.
