[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let’s not forget that Purple Line is going to be a gamechanger too in terms of economic development. The county promised east/west light rail for years. It’s finally happening.[/quote]

No it isnt. Purple like ridership will be lower than low. [b]20 stops, one hour, from college park to bethesda?[/b] Who is that? Not even worth a park and ride person.

Purple line was t going to happen due to terrrible feasibility and ridership studies. Then a Trump waved the federal infrastructure money at Hogan and here we are. What a waste. Metro is a poorly managed Pension union that runs some badly maintained subways on the side.[/quote]

The great thing about light rail, vs. airplanes, is that it makes stops between end points. Are people going to ride from Silver Spring to Bethesda, or from Langley to Silver Spring, or from Silver Spring to College Park, or from...? You bet they will. In fact, they already are, just on buses, with transfers, more slowly.[/quote]

I also don’t know many people that live in sS and work in bethesda. Are you talking about a few hundred retail or nanny workers? That’s it?

What big residential or office area is this connecting exactly? MoCo is so anti-business not sure what will stick.[/quote]

I guess you've never been on East West Highway during rush hour. :D[/quote]

UMD College Park <==> NIH

No good way to get there today without a car. Huge help to students with internships.[/quote]
