t's a good question, and you'll find the context and a discussion over on the Transportation Blog. Click over and see what you think.
My blog partner there, transportation writer Michael Lindenberger of the news department, asked the question for an upcoming story on the opening of DART's Green Line next week. He was seeking input from the public to help shape his piece (and we'll have to wait and see what he comes up with).
Meanwhile, on my own track, I've written an editorial expressing the position that rail transit is good for the metro area in a number of ways. Take development. You may have seen the giant mixed-use project at the Park Lane station, or Southside on Lamar, near Cedars. I posted recently about the transit-oriented development (TOD, to experts) in the Red Line's Richardson corridor. Meanwhile, Carrollton, Farmers Branch and Irving are busy trying to make the most of transit service heading their way. The new Baylor station has already hatched projects. The MLK and Fair Park areas are hopeful but more skeptical, as reporter Nancy Visser wrote today.
