Supporters of the Rush Line bus rapid transit project say it will transform spotty public transportation service in the east metro, especially for a rising number of people who live in poverty and those without a car.
But a budding group of skeptics are asking whether it s wise to forge ahead with the project, which would connect Union Depot in St. Paul to White Bear Lake, as people continue to work from home in the post-COVID-19 economy.
And others worry that frequent bus service every 10 to 15 minutes during rush hour would compromise the small-town feel of downtown White Bear Lake.
