    Why instead of spending all this money why didn't Charlotte just buy a few Articulated buses, which are basically almost the same size of these, it's so much cheaper. If Charlotte wanted the economic development around those areas they could've just added permanent sheltered bus stops which would've been a fraction of the cost and took less time. This street car only goes like 30mph anyways. The rail installed inside the roads has made it so dangerous for drivers as it shifts your car into the other lane. I love the blue line and commuter lines but this doesn't make sense other than economic development in the area. The whole benefit of a train is that it can go faster than cars, safer and carry more people. But on this street car, it's slower than buses, slightly bigger than an articulated bus and it's massively more expensive considering roads are primarily funded in USA way over train tracks. I guess it makes the city look cooler for tourists our of the city but that's it tbh. Maybe it'll be usefull when we have the silver line, red line built but the red line is looking bleak, they don't even have a funding source and Charlotte was denied for a 1 cent sales tax inc to pay for their 2040 project. I'm all about for reducing cars, but this won't reduce cars on the road until all of those are built.

    Having doubts this is even going to be completed. They've been designing this since 1998 and had the perfect opportunities in the early 2000's. Many businesses settled in Charlotte, NC because of the red line and the overall transit plan they had and it was abandoned. They haven't even locked in a funding source for this project yet so it's all a design phase still, so really barely anything has changed in my mind. They're building a passenger rail facility near uptown at least and that's set to be completed by 2028. This project looks like it has a 10+ year outlook at this point tbh.

    Commuter rail can also be powered by electric overhead wires! That requires more initial capital investment but pays off in economic and environmental benefits in the long run. Also the framing of this as a "commuter rail" rather than a "reginal rail" may be problematic, especially considering post-COVID work-from-home commute patterns. Commuter rail implies a focus on weekday rush-hour service rather than frequent all-day service that can serve ridership demand beyond just 9-5 commuters

    • @AlexWohlbruck
      @AlexWohlbruck 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      regional rail service would look something more like Amtrak, connecting many different major cities to one another. although this will link up small townships, they are mostly contained within the same county and are sort-of exurban towns within the greater Charlotte region. the word "commuter" isn't exclusive to job commutes, it could refer to students traveling to school, someone heading downtown for the weekend, or any other type of "commute" trip
