I'll keep this pithy in the spirit of this blog:
Much recently built intra-city or intra-metro transit misses the point. It isn't about building a substitute to your car commute, it's about building a different kind of transportation infrastructure which is complementary to walkable neighborhoods which don't require car use for all needs. If people don't want that, fine, I surrender, but building a train down the median of a highway usually doesn't accomplish this goal very well.
