If the purpose of the rail lines is to provide passenger service, should they not go from city to city?
The closest TTC-35 will get to DFW is about 15 miles east. The closest to San Antonio will be about 20 miles southeast. And according to the map, the I-69 segment looks pretty far from Houston.
I agree we need highways to ease traffic... but this is a big monstrosity with commuter rail that is unnecessary.
It's not as if you get on the TTC, and you can't get off. True, if you want to bypass Dallas, you stay on the TTC.
But whereas the TTC will be highspeed, once you hit the offramp you're back to normal traffic. There will be passenger service from San Antonio to Dallas. It won't be entirely on the TTC.
