"Instead of trying the same old approaches, South Bend ... has launched Commuters Trust, a public-private collaboration to create a 'transportation-as-a-benefit' program for local employees."

“Traditional mass transit can and should be part of the solution ... but cities like South Bend need to think outside the box to help residents achieve greater mobility. We’re working to harness technology to create better mobility alternatives."

Today in internet news: reddit user u/RikkaTheSecond/ designed a fictional Metro system for the South Bend/Mishawaka region.

We like buses, but this is pretty cool to think about it. Would you ride a train to get to work in South Bend?
