If the RLE didn't cost a ridicoulous amount of money I wouldn't even be complaining. But it's super damn expensive for what? Couple thousand more riders? Why not reintroduce the green line back to the south lakefront area? Would garner FAR more ridership
Well the silly thing is that fare integration and higher ME frequencies would basically obviate most of it (and... you could extend the RL a little bit around the Bishop Ford for a transfer station).
