About this episode

The episode discusses the future of public transportation in Bozeman, including light rail costs and traffic reduction strategies.

It's more of a Shelbyville idea anyway. In this episode, we talk about the future of public transportation in Bozeman. How will we promote the humble bus now that we're a city of over 50,000 people? How much does a light rail cost? How do we reduce traffic even as we continue to grow as an economic hub for the area? We discuss these questions and more with Bozeman's Transportation & Engineering Director Nick Ross.
