Bummer: Raleigh Fails Again To Find Someone To Build Bus Rapid Transit
The BRT for Raleigh goes all the way back to 2016, when the voters approved a plan. It’s almost 10 years later and
Raleigh BRT line delayed, as city tries a third time to find someone to build it https://t.co/Guewia73cl

When planning to build something, isn’t it a good idea to have someone to actually build it before announcing you’re going to build it?
Raleigh is once again trying to find contractors to build North Carolina’s first bus rapid transit line. This time the city is trying a different strategy, one that will further delay the project.
Last year, the city twice sought bids from construction companies to build the New Bern Avenue BRT line, which will run 5.4 miles between downtown and a planned park-and-ride lot off New Hope Road. The first time, no one bid. The second attempt yielded one bid that was more than $41 million higher than the city’s estimates and was rejected.
The rest is behind a hard paywall, but, the result is no bids. Zero. No one wants to build it. Here were are 9 years later and not one project has even started. Is there a need for this on New Bern? How many people will actually ride it? Is it taking people where they want to go? Is this more about forcing the peasants out of their cars and onto buses, like we’ve seen in so many leftist cities (while the Elites travel in fossil fueled large SUVs)?
BTW, I’m reserving judgement on this, until we have more info
Let’s call it:
The first big blackout of the green electricity era
