BILLIONS of dollars wasted on a train that nobody rides, and it all boils down to "people not realizing that they are going to ride this train one way or the other, 100 years in future". GOTCHA!


You lost this battle several comments ago...NOW I'm just thoroughly entertained, lol!

Lost what battle?.....

YOU and Houston's transit system has NEVER LED in this thread!!!!


...And if you think you have....You need intervention!!!


Oh wait ...I take that back....Houston DOES lead in the Bus Fleet Division.

You mean...DFW is ahead of Houston...right? Because that goes without saying...no one has ever denied this.

DALLAS BY ITSELF...on the other hand...has fallen waaaaay back into 3rd place as far as Texas cities go...I mean...how did y'all let SAN ANTONIO get ahead?? Yea...Dallas NEEDS Fort Worth and the rest of the surrounding cities to make a showing. Houston only needs...well, HOUSTON.

In fact...no one from DFW has ever answered my question as to why Houston's GDP is neck-and-neck with DFW's GDP despite the latter having HALF A MILLION MORE PEOPLE?

Sounds rather pathetic to me...

You'd think half a million more souls would blow us out of the water

This thread has run its course.
I think it's time to let it die.

So since YOU LIVE HERE......explain to the class how this is a vanity project....or Just say you can't believe Dallas is getting ANOTHER subway before any other city in Texas.


The City-Place subway was the Vanity project if "I" had to name one. It could have easily been street level........Nobody said anything about that one.

Please show us a copy of the check for the $5B required to build and maintain this line that is not a vanity project. Oh and another one for the $15B required to keep the system operating it perpetuity.

In a city like Dallas/Fort Worth, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM is a vanity project. The fact that whoever proposed that new line that would result in a DECLINE in ridership was not summarily fired and escorted out of the building is proof.

Are you STILL challenging me on this?!!!






ONE LAST TIME!!!!!!!



.....Even though SOME think it's not a per-mile-of-track basis...It ACTUALLY IS!!!!

If a system only had 1 mile of track ..... and 10,000 used it every day....Ridership numbers would be calculated at 10,000 people per-mile

If they added a connecting line for another mile it would Immediately drop the ridership numbers to 5,000 people per mile..because 10,000 divided by 2 is 5,000.......No fewer amount of people ride it ....But it's considered a drop because of the increase in mileage of track..........

Lol...I was gonna leave all this alone, but your delusion is still entertaining...and downright scary.

The problem is that you don't think about what you write before you actually write it. Either that, or you desperately hope that none of the people you debate will actually do their own research into the crap that spews from your mouth. I vote for the latter .

I had a whole mathematical equation lined up (although it wouldn't have been needed to debunk this myth you keep espousing), but I don't feel like writing all that...so I'll dumb it down for you: Even if your theory about ridership numbers not changing is true (which sounds GREATLY exaggerated, especially since ridership numbers is, was, and has ALWAYS BEEN CRAPPY), that just makes the new line even dumber since BILLIONS are being spent to build a train that not only VERY FEW PEOPLE USE, the ridership isn't showing any signs of going UP at ANYTIME in the future. Your bumbling desperate hope that "If you build it, they will come" is just that...DESPERATE HOPE.

False. All of the ridership figures that DART cited were SYSTEMWIDE. And they point to a DECLINE.
