Buses.

If that doesn't sound like a harbinger of urbanity, what does? Too, buses don't carry a very hopeful image and suffer from some negative perceptions, but like putting ivy in the garden, you know it works and you need it--and really what else can connect these areas?

But does it have to be that way? Most I talked to thought it necessary, some were even excited, about the new bus system. Others were more interested in bike lanes and alternative methods of getting around. What would you push for: should the buses be green, running on alternative fuels or electricity? What if "electric" meant power lines in more of a cable-car set-up like they have in Dallas, Texas? And not least...where do the buses need to go, and how often?

Here are a few links to interesting bus concepts:
Orem County, Utah
Coventry, UK
contemporary bus depot
futuristic buses
or what about historic buses???
