Lest we all forget, LA went to LR after the disastrous experiences building the (Red Line) subway--the massive cost overruns, methane explosions, (someone forgot that LA floats on oil/gas pools--visit the La Brea tar pits for evidence), and delays, subways were outlawed. However, the LR has high level platforms and widely spaced stations so other than the specific rolling stock it is fairly rapid transit. As to grade crossings, see Chicago's Brown and Pink lines at their outer ends. |
