Houston and Dallas are anamolies because TX cities in general are very spread out and try as they might, Houston and Dallas as of today just doesn’t have the best mass transit systems because both cities are primarily car dependent.

It made a lot of sense to build the DC Metro in that manor because unlike NYC, LA, Chicago, and even Philadelphia, DC is about 61 sq mi and having express service would’ve been a bonus for DC, but the stops are spaced out every mile of so for a reason.

I can’t wait to see the Georgetown realignment for the Blue line just to decongest the Orange and Silver lines in DC, and I can also hope that DC strongly considers expanding it’s small streetcar system. The design alone needs to be strongly considered and the DC streetcar system would strongly supplement what is already one of the best mass transit systems in the country.
