Toronto's Retiring Streetcars an Opportunity for Jax?

[peestandingup]

Nashville isnt "like" a commuter rail it is a commuter rail. Sometimes the grass seems greener on the other side. This is from a blog out of Nashville, back in September 2008.

True. Although I think arguing over Nash & Jax's overall systems is like arguing which turd stinks the least. My point was, at least they have a rail system in place already that gets used & they've got the public warmed up to the idea. All Jax has is a bunch of "we're gonna do this & that" talk with nothing actually becoming a reality.

Also, that blog poster talks about the Skyway like it's actually useful to people & seems to think our "Trolleys" are actual trolleys & not busses in disguise (maybe he does know, but he never mentions that part at least). I'm willing to bet he's never been here for any extended period of time & tried to actually use any of these systems. Anyone who has knows what a joke they are, including the people who run this very blog: http://www.metrojacksonville.com/article/2009-jul-long-days-journey-into-plight-stephen-dare-goes-jta-

Not saying the grass is greener, just that they have the ball rolling at least.
