Eh, it doesn't seem to bad. It has the 8th-highest ridership of all US local tranist authorities while only being located in the 39th-largest city.

Of course that isn't saying much. What is it like to ride on it?

It's ok. Only problem is that the rail service is limited.

Atlanta has incredibly small city-limits, most other cities have FAR larger areas in terms of square miles; for example Jacksonville FL city limits spans their entire county which grossly over-inflates their population.

Try $1 billion/mile. $100 million is unbelievably low for subway construction; only Korea and Japan can approach those figures.

elevated rail down the medians of the interstates. so suburb commuters can take the train into downtown and leave their cars at home.

Georgia isn't earthquake prone and they don't need to buy right of way. north georgia ground is either red clay or solid fucking granite(hello Stone Mountain). So tunneling is out of the question.

The Streetcar cost ~$98 Mil. for its 1.3 mile reach. That, though, included a VMF, and new trains, plus all the costs of doing something for the first time. The planned streetcar extensions, and light rail will cost similar amounts, though likely less.

The small amount of heavy rail extension planned (Westside Blue Line) will likely be within $300 Mil. per mile.

The Bus Rapid Transit routes and various other bus improvements will be much cheaper.

Wrong, BART is the worst.

Some highlights from 2016:

- two systemwide power failures
- three shootings
- SF stations are no longer ADA compliant, due to feces clogging the escalators and elevators
- homeless population exceeds 300
- trains are so loud that it actually violates OSHA standards (this is due to their lack of canted wheels)
- upholstered seats are physically coming apart

best part is that they need both a dedicated $10 billion bond + $8 road tolls just to keep their shit system running since everything is custom made as they use indian gauge not standard gauge

San Francisco needs to fix their homeless problem, while building affordable housing.
They also need bus lanes on every street with a bus.

San Francisco has rent control and a bunch of yuppie fags. there is also the matter of the regulations adding 10 years to any building project.

That is why most of the city is still townhouses like its Full House.

Today the walnut creek station caught fire because a power box blew up. Nobody knows why, but people stuck on delayed trains began using them as toilets because operators wouldn't let people deboard.

It's impossible to be worse than BART, and still qualify as an active railroad/metro system. This is because BART is sitting on that fenceline every time they suffer an infrastructure malfunction.

2/3rds of SF is zoned for exclusively single family detached housing, and most of the city wants it to remain that way. Same for Oakland and Berkeley. This is how San Jose, which thirty years ago was the local mexican containment zone, could become the 10th largest County in America.
