I cannot say I have looked at the plans very hard. What does a street car do that a bus can't? The bus can be used on any road in the system. I would like to see an unbiased fuel and carbon assessment on the different modes of transportation.<br />The old bus systems were self supporting because they were for profit. I keep getting upset since I have to pay taxes to support a system that I can't use. Here we have another.

True urban revitalization will not happen unless there is new mass transit and if we can get the streetcar to Bailey's. Smart move by both Arlington and Fairfax.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246743662284890173.post-29904468147887779222013-04-16T06:52:13.140-04:002013-04-16T06:52:13.140-04:00Thank heavens Fairfax and Arlington are still comm...Thank heavens Fairfax and Arlington are still committed to the streetcar. They are absolutely right that unless we have mass transit that people will actually use there will be no revitalization in this part of Mason District. Mason District will continue to be the place that officials can ignore because there is nothing to go to, except to drive through to get to Mosaic or Tysons Corner. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
