      Except for Detroit. That’s because putting in light rail down the middle of the highway that could support it between the airport and Detroit city proper would actually make sense and we don’t like that around here. Also, the Motor City hates bus services. Am I salty? Perhaps.

        Detroit will never rise above “COMPLETE HOLE” status until they unfuck public transportation. I’d like to visit but I don’t drive so what’s the point? See a five block area around downtown?

        Oh, you think that’s bad? Check the Texrail map. It’s the light rail line for Fort Worth, Texas.

        It’s literally one line that goes from downtown to DFW airport. There’s a planned expansion that will push it slightly further further west to the medical district… in downtown.

        And don’t even get me started on the bus line intervals. The one that’s closest to me runs HOURLY. It may as well not even fucking exist, and I think that’s the idea.

        After going to Denver and seeing the rail system and having so much potential squandered was upsetting. Just extend that thing down to Colorado Springs at least. It’d do so much good ans almost certainly pay for itself quickly. They built it up for absolutely nothing.
