Every Single VTA Line Review
Inspired by Miles Taylor’s MBTA series. this is the comprehensive list of every bus and tram line review I have done and eventually will do on the VTA network. If there’s a link in the list below, there’s an article.
I am NOT counting school lines, commute.org lines, ACE shuttles, MVgo shuttles, nor microtransit. I hate myself, but not that much.
The overall ranking spreadsheet! and without further ado, every single line:
