Do you think the first rail built in Germany was a failure because it wasn't 10x the size? We get to a big rail network by building more rail. Seattle went from 0 to 1 rail line, which now has millions of riders per month. We're about to complete our second line, and we've approved funding for more. These things take time.
- panick21_ 4y agoOh that's totally fine. I understand that its a success for the city. But in terms of an overall transit network its not a success yet. So really there should be 10 follow up network increases already planned and as far as I know they are not really that aggressive.

Pretty soon we'll have three large lines, and there's discussions about what to build next. The rail is fairly popular out here.
- panick21_ 4y agoGreat to hear.
