Well, here in Texas I have to say that mass transit is not very well utilized. Everyone's gotta drive their car everywhere. You can check out Dallas' transit system at www.dart.org and see how little we have for an area of millions of people.

bump

san diego's the worst. they have an extremely extensive tram system, buses, commuter rail -- and out of all that, the only thing that goes to the airport is a bus -- one bus route, comes every 15 minutes

Take a look at Seattle's and you'll see why the Seattle Metro Area is in the top 3 traffic prone areas of the U.S.

Seattle has mass transit! :shock:

Basically trafic jammed I-5 and I-90.... then Highway 520..... yuck.....

Of course you have the *fruit*, but that only runs 11 blocks of light rail in downtown... Buses are ok, but there only good in the immediate area. (light rail to the airport will open in 2009, but that isn't going to help very much...)

im looking it up...ooh, my fault, it's a planned light rail line. :|

You see. I know about Seattle. It opens in late 2009.

I think its October. SEA-TAC's new runway is schudeled for opening in November of 2008.

you know, ive always wondered: was the city Seatac named after the airport?

Seattle · **Reply #13 on:** December 26, 2007, 07:55:41 am

Seattle-Tacoma...... Shortend to Sea-Tac and it is now the community around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

nwadeltaboy · **Reply #14 on:** December 26, 2007, 07:57:18 am

so...which came first, the name of the city Sea Tac or the name of the airport Sea Tac?

don't challenge my map ability, i have about 1 US atlases at my house.
