[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding? Bethesda to UMD? We want it. Thousands of college students, university profs and employees are eagerly waiting for it.

Don't be stupid.

oh yes, all those UMD students commuting from downtown Bethesda..

Driving, even with traffic, will be faster[/quote]

No it won't be - the Purple Line which will have it's own right of way for most of the route will take 9 minutes to go from Bethesda to Silver Spring.

There is no way even at 2AM to cover that distance today in 9 minutes.

Also left out of this discussion is that the project will extend the Capital Crescent Trail (the most used multi-use trail in the country) from Bethesda to Silver Spring.[/quote].

All of which will bring more crime to Bethesda.[/quote]

So you think someone will take a streetcar to bethesda, commit a crime, and then....wait for a streetcar to make off with their bounty?

That is a heck of a racial profiling ask there.[/quote]

The purple line is a subway not a streetcar.

Light rail, not subway not streetcar [/quote]

Irrelevant semantic distinctions.

Light rail and streetcar in essence are the same thing.

And since the Purple Line actually goes underground (briefly) in both Bethesda and Silver Spring it technically is also a subway.[/quote]
