Why Las Vegas Transit Is Better Than You Think
Las Vegans love to complain about our “lack” of public transit. But with recent reports of violence on buses, the conversation has intensified. So, what does the agency running our public transportation system of buses, bike shares, and more have to say about these concerns? We are revisiting a conversation co-host Dayvid Filger had with MJ Maynard, CEO of Southern Nevada’s Regional Transportation Commission (RTC). Maynard talks about how they address safety, sets the record straight about how much they actually do, and discusses the challenges of operating in our car-centric city.
