Baton Rouge transit leaders reveal preferred route for express bus, consider Plank Road upgrades
LINK

Bus rapid transit, or BRT, was originally designed to run along Plank Road. Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome decided not to pursue the proposed trolley between downtown and LSU. Instead, she's sought to put an express bus on the route and connect the line with the Plank Road segment. The Capital Area Transit System will operate the BRT

NBR is already feeling out the robbery scene around LSU. This just makes it easier.

Serious question... why does NBR need to be connected to LSU?

Ah yes, for all those LSU students who live on Plank Rd. I'm glad this problem has been addressed!

Sure, let’s make it easier for criminals to go rob college students.

Why is BR so hellbent in making NBR have accessibility to LSU?

They have to make a living somehow. SWB ran on a redistribution of wealth from SBR to NBR platform, evidently it wasn’t proceeding fast enough. Kip, where are you?

And don't forget to link it to Santa Maria. Lots of "job opportunities" there as well.
