    Another problem is the low capacity of light rail, for example Seattles has four cabs on every train but only two are ever used, one at a time. That is a lot of wasted space. They did not care.

    BTW anyone interested in looking at a light rail disaster caused by atrocious government should do a quick study of Ottawa's Confederation Line.

    OMG.

    Here in Phoenix, light fail runs mostly empty all day long. The only major user of it are ASU college students transiting between the Tempe and downtown campus. Worse, the system runs on an honor system that you'll buy a ticket. There are no gate controls and anyone can just get on and off as they please. There is a minimum of enforcement on the trains checking tickets, but it is hardly universal or frequent.

    Actually there are very often 6 cabs in a train, only one being used.

    I think I know that the entire Phoenix transit system is poorly designed and lightly used. But then again I cant imagine standing around in the Phoenix heat waiting for a bus.

    One of the big ways Sound Transit pissed me off is the lack of bathrooms...it is planned that linkrail trains will run for a couple of hours end to end (currently 53 minutes) but there are no bathrooms on the trains, few bathrooms in the stations (Most stations have zero), and the ones they did build have been (mostly?) closed to riders for awhile now, they are only for staff.

    This is uncivilized, and a recipe for disaster. .

    Yeah, sure. Does that count buying all the Homes you have to bulldoze?

    I won't either. But a vaccine recommended by the medical community that has shown no side effects and makes it 10+ times less likely that I die? Yep, I'm in. Sorry about your galactic stupidity. We all have our crosses to bear.

    You cant actually be as ignorant as you act.

    Which would make you a yet another liar.

    My bad. Some people got a sore arm or felt a little run down. You know what they didn't feel? A breathing tube going down their throat. Good luck in the ICU.

    That hasn't been the case in Phoenix where we're building lots of freeways and expanding existing ones. In fact, the latest two light fail expansions have caused numerous business failures due to street closures and restrictions and the whole system clogs traffic on the streets it runs along.
    I think the funniest one is they're expanding one section across I 17 at about Dunlap Rd., and it's going into a now abandoned mall (Metrocenter).



    That's the route at the top of the map.
    The light green one marked "South Central" runs along a street with nothing but industrial, wholesale, and other businesses that don't do foot traffic at all--ZERO. One of the vendors I use regularly is just off that street. There's nothing down there for passenger service. No residential anywhere, no businesses that work on foot traffic. So, that leg is going to be a huge fail for passenger service.
