From a previous message:"I'd also love to see full peak-direction express service on Broadway-Brooklyn. But that may be more the rail fan in me." The rail-fan in a lot of us would like to see certain arrangements of various train routes, certain subway or bus lines built and operating, and maybe a few extra things that are really nice to think about. Yes, the "real-world types" might say that this or that can or can not be done for various reasons or statistics and facts. Some of which can indeed be true, but sometimes not. One reason for being a transit fan is that one does not always have to stay in "the real world." It is that spark of the imagination, that willingness to think of the possibilities, to ask "what if" - and to enjoy the process of testing an idea. The day when the basic repeated answer to any and all transit ideas is an "automatic NO!" -- then that is the day when being a transit fan is no more "fun". Will many of the plans that Wallyhorse and plenty of others propose/suggest ever see the light of day - resulting in something that actually positively affects the riders and transit? Probably not, but maybe sometimes - who knows. I say, let that transit fan within you "come out" sometimes with suggestions, plans, ideas and proposals. Let the transit fan with in you have some fun - sometimes! Besides, the day when any and all transit ideas is an "automatic NO!" - what will we have left to talk about? The Dodgers? The Knicks?
