Re: TexRail
Its all about the land use around the stations that needs to improve which we are terrible at doing here in North America. I'm not sure what TOD is planned for the TexRail stops like Grapevine has worked hard for. But yeah, putting everyone in a car and pushing the burden on the car driver is a sill...

Re: Silver Line
New opening date, late 2025 to mid 2026. :( Now that I think about it, there’s still some parts of the line that haven’t been touched. I heard a rumor that a certain council woman was able to delay some permits. I have no idea if that’s the case. Do you have a source for this new timeline? And yes,...

Re: Hyperloop: Texas Triangle
It took many years to get Amtrak off the UP line and onto the TRE line. Amtrak wanted to eliminate the daily backup move into Fort Worth saving considerable time. UP just wants passenger trains off it's lines. TRE didn't think it could work Amtrak into its timetables, and then it turned into who wou...

Re: DART: Bus system
A draft of the new bus network has been posted and surveys available to take. The main page: https://www.dartzoom.org Take the survey from here. A pretty cool interactive map where you can see proposed new routes against old routes. You can also click to see how far you can reach within one hour. h...

Re: Dallas Love Field People Mover
Coming from the center of Plano, I've found that taking the 208 from NW Plano TC can be a bit faster than the Red Line. Of course I prefer to take the train, I have to admit the express bus is pretty darn quick and comfortable. Of course that assumes the DNT isn't too backed up.

Re: Austin Metro Proposes Massive Transit System
It looks like the measure passed to expand Austin's Metro system. I'll definitely be a user of the train to the airport.

Re: DFW Airport
Those high C gates were an add on to terminal C sometime in the 80's or 90's, I believe. You go down a ramp and the space is whofully inadequate. I hope they work on the entirety of C one of these days. It's the only terminal left with the old floor tile that AA installed in the early 90's.

Re: TexRail
Looking at the regional level the dichotomy is even more obvious. Since DART's inception 93% of North Texas population growth has been outside of the DART service area. Both developers and the "common person" would appear to be actively avoiding mass transit. Your logic is flawed I could ...

Re: TexRail
It looks like service will start January 5, 2019. That's getting close! They already posted timetables and it appears it will run daily every hour. I'm surprised there is no difference between weekday and weekday schedules, but I'm glad there seems to be Sunday service. Since TRE still doesn't offer...
