Reply to comment by Steelplate7 in Will the cost of a central Pa. thruway reach $1B? PennDOT officials hope not by dissolutewastrel

You told us where you live and work. I checked a map. Driving from A to B takes sixteen minutes.

Apparently not, since people do it every day.

 
We don't need to piss away a billion dollars on a highway from nowhere to nowhere so you can get home four minutes earlier.

You still don’t get it. The issue is NOT me getting to and from work. It is doing anything else in our area…which goes way beyond me.

I have family in the area and drive on 11&15 whenever I'm out there. It isn't congested in any sense of the meaning unless you're a country bumpkin who doesn't understand what real traffic looks like.

No…let’s spend multiple billions of dollars so you can have 10 more buses. Fuck off…

Ten new buses would cost about $7 million and move more people in any given year than your billion dollar highway from nowhere, to nowhere.

 
There are 80-100K people living in the entire area this highway would service. There are more people than that living within a twelve mile radius of me.
 
$1b so a few bumpkins can get home a couple minutes earlier from work is an insane amount of waste.
