QuotePHOENIX - Thousands of people packed into train cars Saturday as this car-crazy city launched its new light rail system amid criticism that ridership would be limited by urban sprawl and the area's grueling summer heat.
Despite lingering questions over whether the system would be of much use, several riders waiting at a busy station applauded the new trains as convenient, good for the environment and economical.
Its great to see another sunbelt sprawler go rail. It further defeats any argument of rail not being feasible in spread out, low density metropolitan areas.
Well, let's see how successful it is first before we can say it puts an end to the density argument. But I am optimistic.
