Yeah, it's hardly ideal from an operational perspective, but it is fair. When the downtown light rail connector opens in a few years (5-10), the alignment will switch so that the gold line and the blue line merge. The blue line is 22 miles. The connector will be about 2 more miles. The gold line is 20 miles and the new addition could be as long as 24 additional miles. That adds up to 22+2+20+24 = 66 miles! Seems like a little far for operators. Plus you have a really busy line connected to a line that will be quite "unbusy". |
