Hmm I gotta disagree with that. While yes they are 0sum they are totally different organizations operating these things. If Atlanta DOT isn’t improving their local transit networks it’s not because they’re focusing on Nashville rail connections. I’ll give you the demand aspect sure, but a 2.5 hour link between dense downtown Atlanta and Nashville business districts can also become a catalyst for increased demand. Depends how much cost goes into the project. Maybe it’s worth pursuing maybe not. I think the biggest obstacle is how much state and local governments cooperate. State and local governments that are supportive are going to reap the benefits while hostile ones will suffer in the long term. Nashville recently voted down a comprehensive light rail plan so not sure how much support there is on that end.
