Valley Metro has chosen Houston as a model for Phoenix public transit:
  both cities are using 19th century technology to address a 21st century challenge
 
let's see....
  • at-grade trolleys, competing with ground transit, averaging 15mph
  • painful and expensive infrastructure relocation along projected routes
  • what's the realistic cost estimate, and who's gonna pay for it?
  • who's willing to give up his pickup, suv, or lexus to ride it?
  • houston trolley crashes: 72  and counting .... public outcry
