Then explain to me why people would rather trudge through the campus to get to the Dinky to take it 1 stop, as opposed to taking a bus which can circulate around the campus before going on a dedicated busway, which would be way more convenient. And please don't tell me it's because it's the "charm" of the Dinky, which are old railcars that only rail fans find "charming".Excellent point that may fall on death ears. As much as the railfan in me hates to say it, I think that mixed-use public transit right-of-ways similar to what Downtown Seattle has is the future of transportation because of predicaments like that one that the Princeton Branch is currently in. So many prematurely abandoned rail lines that would be useful today could have been saved if they were converted to busways instead of being outright abandoned. The North Shore Line in Staten Island or the Rockaway Beach Branch in Queens are two that come to mind. |
