Rail is attractive to developers because it signifies a capital commitment to transit in that area. They are not going to reroute the thing away from your development on a whim a few years later, nor are they going to stop service a few years after opening day.Rail is attractive to customers because they are more user-friendly: it is blatantly obvious where the route runs. When trying to find a bus stop or bus route, sometimes you need to wait until one happens by and watch what it does. Streetcars have infrastructure that make them intuitive to find and figure out the possible route. They also are not going to reroute the streetcar to arbitrary sidestreets with unknown stopping locations for parades and whatnot; the parade is routed such that it does not interfere with the line. |
