Hey, did you ever see David Lynch's "The Straight Story"? You can get pretty far on things like that!

More to Rex's point. There are places along the light rail route that might be susceptible to the sort of thing that happened in St. Louis, plenty of them, but it hasn't been a problem. Don't know why. Maybe effective policing but the light rail has been a decided plus for the metro area.

Same here. The usage by commuters is pretty high. I drove by Curlew Station recently just before "rush hour", the lot was full of cars. More on the train = Less on the road.
