  • I'm a big proponent of Light Rail. We rode on the metro L/R at inauguration once and that was it. Consensus: Half Baked at best. The coaches are nice and clean, Japanese high velocity cars plying a slow 20 mile stretch with a stop every mile w/o washroom access. Strike one! Single track with trains stopping at same stations a mile apart, instead of 'A' and 'B' trains, stopping at every other one as in odd# and even#. Strike two! 40mph not 20. Dual tracks in either direction would be a lot more efficient despite the cost, which would be recovered faster. It would command a higher fare which people don't mind paying for esp. as season pass for a more nimble system. Strike three! I could go on and on. I've lived in San Francisco (BART), New York and been on the El in Chicago. I've ridden on the San Diego system that's elevated on a portion of its stretch. This just does'nt compare....but it's a pacifier and provides a nice alternative to the routine drive or taking the bus. Problem is it's not 24 hours and the alignment of the corridor it plys only serves a small clientele. Strike four! Of course they had to run it through mid town, downtown and along the ballparks and ASU and TTL. It gives it a big town feel done in a small town way. Sure it'll be more like it ought to be, when the planned extensions are in place and ridership magically swells to record levels...but when will it connect like the Freeways are beginning to do, albeit also a bit late in the day as well. Please...I'd rather not get started on the Ultra modern buses/tandems that are running devoid of passengers for the most part. If it weren't for the driver, it would be empty. All the feasibility studies etc. are a sheer waste if, we fail to run an efficient and affordable, clean system to truly move the masses as they do in so many urban areas around the world. Don't try to reinvent the wheel, it's been done,just take it the rest of the way and learn and improve what they boast and do one better, to be a model everyone will be envious of. Try harder and Good Luck! People should drive their cars because they want to once in awhile for family outings e.g. not because they have to. Period.
