Your thinking in the here and now, planners are thinking 50-80 years in the future.

At a cost of over $200M a mile (so far) to build a 7.3 mile rail line, it doesn't seem like a very cost efficient way to move people to me. Especially when only 11% of the commuters will be using it.

Others apparently disagree with that.


Thanks for providing the anti mass transit position Hank, but like was mentioned above we are not talking about the here and now, but rather generations in the future.
