[Austin Transportation Issues]

Lightrail Usage?

I was in Houston this week stuck at a stop light at the inner loop around 3pm. The crossing guard came their light rail trains came by in both directions. It's really cool but the cars only had about 3 people each in them. Hopefully Austin will better support our mass transit but I'm somewhat doubtful Texans will get out of their cars. Also, I really hope that the rail get extended out to the airport. It's only about 7-8 miles from downtown and would be very useful.

Dallas ridership has far exceeded expectations. I thought Houston was doing pretty well on ridership, but I could be wrong on that....

And of course Austin isn't getting light rail anyway....
