Water front light rail could be an effective transit alternative in south philly not only for the water front but also for the adjcent neighborhoods between Front to Third or Fourth and Market to Morris. Neighborhoods like Queen Village, Pennsport and with better connections Society Hill between South and Spruce. All that being said I still think that the Boulevard subway or a subway up 29th to Manayunk via the parkway would both have a higher ridership per dollar return than anything on the water front.
