Light rail is the best of both worlds where heavy rail isn't possible. You can do street running downtown, and then get off the streets and run fast on a dedicated ROW. That's what Portland's MAX does anyway. The street running parts are slow, but then you get to the dedicated ROW. Sitting in traffic is slow the whole way. |
