Re: Occasional Train Blogging: Trams (none / 1)

Check out the Budapest tram network map I linked towards the end of the diary! People won't leave their cars until light rail lines around DC will be at least that dense. (Where it is to be noted: Budapest too has a subway and also buses; just DC proper is twice as many people as Budapest; and the tramway network used to be twice as long.)

That is precisely the problem (4.00 / 3)

pretty much everywhere in the U.S., except for a few big old cities. For at least 90% of Americans "You can't get there from here" is pretty much accurate for "public" transit.
