Actually, if you paid attention to the details in my posts you wold know that I disagree with the ridership projections HART has put out, at least for the first 20 years. I agree they were highly optimistic. I believe an entire generation will have to grow up with rail as an option for it to bu used at its highest level.
That said, is the rail going to cost each resident $1,000 per year to operate in perpetuity or not? That seems a rather bold statement to make without any supporting fact right?
