This just illustrates how inflexible light rail is. Neil said it would cost a million dollars to close a max stop. If you want to close a bus stop you just don't replace it when someone tears it down. well maybe a little more to it but not much. We will have an earthquake some day, and it will cripple light rail, and all the old buses will be able to improvise, and get people where they need to go. Light Rail works as long as it works, but when one train stalls the whole system shuts down. Why we are expanding light rail and cutting service at the same time boggles my mind.
