COTA will contribute up to $50,000 toward a feasibility study for a Downtown streetcar line, but one member of its board questioned whether supporters have objectively studied the demand for such a system.
“Projections on ridership may be more wishful thinking than realistic thinking,” Robert Weiler said after the Central Ohio Transit Authority board meeting yesterday.
He questioned the need for “putting a rail down the middle of High Street when we already have buses on either side that are not full during the middle of the day.”
