I think light rail is awful. Heavy rail even worse.
I just spent a week in Paris. Do you know much faster it's transportation is than walking? It's about a 2x multiplier. That's it. I can take multiple subway connections and get there in 30 minutes or walk the streets in 60.
Several hundred billion in subway is no faster than a moving sidewalk in an airport.
We can do better. We must do better.
