Olivia Ishikawa: Build transfer point for bus, train and airport

The Wisconsin State Journal, February 21, 2010

What a unique opportunity Madison is being given to move into the forefront of American transportation.

With high-speed train service under way, let’s build a station within the city with a new regional bus station nearby. We can develop an airport bus to connect the stations with incoming flights and act as the link between the airport and the city center or the airport and regional buses.

If we create a “station transfer point” for our excellent city bus system, we create further efficiency in connections between the various forms of transportation. Taxi stands could serve travelers both at the station and at the airport.

Let’s do it right, Madison. This chance may never come again.
