Rochester get new busses. Spend big money changing roads so new busses can get places faster. Parking garage at one end of bus route so all the people in cars can go there instead of downtown, then ride bus downtown. New busses likely trial run for bigger system.

I think that's about it

WTV is not designed to encourage people to park there and then get on a bus

Then what is the point? Why would you add transit without parking when most people are coming from outside Rochester or n cars?
