Improve bus transit before expanding commuter rail

Gwen Moore believes the region should first make its heavily subsidized bus-based transit system more efficient and appealing before moving ahead with the proposed Kenosha–Racine–Milwaukee commuter rail line. She has questioned the KRM line’s timing and funding, rather than stating opposition to commuter rail generally.

Context: The passage attributes this position to Moore through a third-party writer. It discusses the proposed KRM line and raises similar questions about the proposed Milwaukee–Madison line, but does not specify particular bus improvements or funding changes.

In their own words

before KRM, we must make our highly subsidized mass transit system, serviced by bus transportation, more efficient and more desirable.
