I've never seen clouds of black pollution puffing out of cyclists. Maybe they should've just skipped the railroad phase altogether and made it a bike trail from the start. [/quote]

The rail line was built in 1889.   There was not really demand for a bike trail in that area in those days.   And the rail line was needed to bring coal to Georgetown.

But good luck with your time machine![/quote]

and why did the original train go away?  The same reason why the purple line will go down as the largest failed transit operations.  Things evolve, transit ridership is down across the country because of the changing work schedule.

How many of you  had parents that worked from home or knew a parent that worked from home?  How many of you work from home or know someone who does?  The ridership will not recover, it has been declining for the past 3 years and has nothing to do with the woes metro has because the other jurisdictions don't have the problems metro has.  [/quote]

Spoken like someone who does not commute on a regular basis in this area. Get a job and then complain about how additional public transportation is unnecessary.[/quote]
