Yes, but at-grade light rail isn't an alternative to subways, it's an alternative to buses. The M23 et.al. barely hit ten mph.

- CydeWeys 10y agoSelect-bus service (that is, buses running in dedicated lanes) is about as fast as at-grade light rail, and significantly cheaper to construct. NYC has been going in that direction for awhile. Building at-grade rail is just a complete non-starter. The city already tore out all of its above-ground rail a long time ago for a variety of reasons that persist to the present day.
