Posted by Dave on Mon Oct 20 12:12:43 2014, in response to Re: As America ages, public transportation will grow, posted by SelkirkTMO on Sun Oct 19 18:15:34 2014. Varies from state to state/city to city.The light-rail system in the Phoenix metro area is expanding after just three and a half years of operation. Sound Transit (Seattle/Tacoma) is expanding in all directions. DART just opened the Orange line extension to DFW. Opening September 12, 2015, the Portland-Milwaukie light rail transit line will travel 7.3 miles between PSU, inner Southeast Portland, Milwaukie and Oak Grove in north Clackamas County. Houston METRO is expanding their light rail system, which includes three new rail lines totaling 15 miles of LRT, 24 stations, and new storage and inspection facilities. Salt Lake City and Albuquerque recently opened their light rail systems. Drawing conclusions from New York's failures is short-sighted. Sure, there have been other LR and HR systems that have foundered but overall public transportation systems are more plentiful now than they have been in many decades. |
