    Market driven mass transit has been successful nowhere.

    Although small, the Las Vegas Monorail seems to be doing well.

  2. Glad I don't live in Seattle Any more. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting · on Seattle Axes Monorail Project

    Traffic into Seattle sucks and they need the monorail, but it has turned into a pork barrel play-thing. They do not even have contractor chosen and it has been years since the whole thing started. Fire them all and run them out of town on a gridlocked bus.

    On the other hand I went to Las Vegas this summer and their monorail rocks.

    A related issue is that of linking up major metropolitan areas.

    Who decided that San Jose should get a Light Rail system that is wholely incompatible with BART. If they had thought for maybe a second, the entire Bay Area could be linked by one complete system.

    The same goes for Baltimore's Light Rail and Washington's Metro. Sure, they're about 25 miles apart now... but eventually they'll converge. When they converge they'll be incompatible.

    I'm no transit expert, but it seems like it is COMPLETELY RETARDED to have adjacent metropolitan areas building incompatible systems.

    And what crackhead decided to build Seattle's Bus Tunnels. That's just weird.

    Las Vegas' Monorail (that's right, MONORAIL!) will be cool but doesn't go very far and is a couple of LARGE blocks off The Strip.

  7. Vegas is putting in a monorail too by jlouderb · · Score: 1 · on Seattle Monorail & California High Speed Rail Move Forward

    I just got back from Comdex, and Vegas is adding a monorail from the convention center to the strip. During past comdexes you could wait hours in cab lines and traffic wouldn't move for days. Of course now that the show is so small, it was easy to get around -- but I'll still ride the monorail over some being toted along by some washed up gambler just jonesing to put more nickels into the slot machines. jim
