The Dallas Area Rapid Transit authority (or DART) is a transit agency based in Dallas, Texas (USA), that operates buses, light rail, commuter rail, and high-occupancy vehicle lanes in Dallas and 12 of its suburbs. With the opening of the Green Line on December 6th, 2010, DART became the largest light rail operator in the United States, with 72 miles (115.9 km) of track.

DART rail fails due to the fact that its ridership is LOW. You can talk down on Houston's all you want [I don't like it myself] however, its ridership is high for just 7 miles long.

How can you possibly get the feel of a city driving through it? That logic is just insane, especially since you'd see the city on an interstate. It's like saying Houston or city X looks bigger in movies.

The question you should be asking is Why does DART cover so much miles, but its ridership fails horribly.

That first shot of Houston is great! I love how Houston has managed to keep some of its art deco buildings. Great density there.
