New shuttle bus service to serve downtown Oakland – ContraCostaTimes.com.
For those of use working in DTO, it is great to see a shuttle starting up to get around. Having this available helps access Jack London, Old Oakland, the Uptown/Arts district and Pill Hill! Easy to use to shorten otherwise long walks and a nice alternative to riding sometimes.
Hope this is just the first of many improvements in downtown to make it easier to get around without a car.
“(Councilmember) Kaplan said she and other city officials also hope that new bus shuttle can be the first step toward developing an electric streetcar system to the downtown some time in the future. Streetcars ran in downtown Oakland in the 1940s.”
