They are trying to get a similar poorly conceived plan here in Tennessee to run from Lebanon to Nashville (about 27 miles). The problems are, 1) that public transportation in Nashville is practically non-existant, once you get off the train, you will most likely still be several miles from work, 2)the Lebanon-Nashville roadway is one of the least congested, 3)few people will even ride it because it will be neither quicker nor more convenient, 4)many people will STILL have to drive 6 or 8 miles just to get to the train station.

in order for a rail system to be useful, the city would have to be MORE DENSE!!
