ALL transportation projects are means to some other end, and the end is different depending on the location. Sometimes the desired end is to move the largest number of rush hour commuters into some area as cheaply as possible. Other times the end is to revitalize an important part of town, or to support car-free & car-light living, or to get drunk bar crowds home late at night. No matter what the desired end(s), you pick the tool that best accomplishes it. Insisting on a one-size-fits-all approach would be foolishness in the extreme.
Development tools are important sometimes. That's not a criticism, it's a fact of life.
