Re: Anti-car democrats are a road hazard

As much as the railfan in me hates to admit this, busways >>> streetcars. If the busway is successful and you ever want to expand it, all you have to do is paint a street and place some delineator posts into the ground, much cheaper than having to build tracks, wires, substations, etc.

A good rule of thumb is that if an area has high residential density and high job density, then it's very likely that there is a high demand for public transportation in that area. I do agree though that in situations where that may not be the case, then assessing the need for public transportation in an area can be difficult, but that doesn't really apply to New York City generally speaking.
