I think it is interesting, though, that they pointed to SLC as having both good and bad examples of transit done well - and now six years later, I think they're booth exceptional examples of transit done right.

It seems kind of silly to compare light rail with commuter rail. Heavy Rail vs. Light Rail sure, but the whole idea of commuter rail is to save money by doing things like sharing with existing freight corridors (or buying extra land from the freight corridor in the case of UTA with FrontRunner).
