A proposed $100 million of capital cost to move 2,162 passengers per weekday to/from Westbrook and Portland? With an annual operating cost of $7-$10 million? Sounds like the Brooklyn Bridge to me!
How about increasing the number, frequency and coverage area of buses within the Greater Portland transit district?
I just returned from Boulder, Colo., which is part of the Regional Transportation District (RTD). Buses there were everywhere and not dissimilar from the Portland area in a number of ways.
I love rail, but only in its place.
