Your front page on Sat. May 9th "Easy Commute is Tough in Tucson" ask RET voters who voted again to widen streets and fill potholes. What we urgently need is Mass Integrated Train Transit System (MITTS) following existing train tracks with small feeder system like they do in LA, San Diego, SF-Bart, Portland, and Seattle. I have ridden them all. They are safer, faster, cheaper, and efficient, but it takes resources, time and public support.
Otherwise we will continue to experience frustrating, mentally exhausting, archaic congestion, interrupted by frequent signals, turning vehicles and cross-street flows.
Let me hear from readers about RET spending wasted money over the past 20 years or update future thinking, rewarding, winning, realistic patterns with rapid train traffic. We already have driverless electric cars. Next we will have drone autos wizzing above us.

Wake up Tucson to future realities or criticze and complain, moan and groan, snivel and whine. It's your choice!
