By the way, Munich has a very robust underground subway system (over 100 km of track). I'm pretty sure Boston is subway also.
Berlin also has a huge subway system. They have tram service in some parts of the city. I've never been to Rome, but a quick wiki shows that they use a subway also. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_Metro |
Also, if people paid attention at crossings we wouldn't have this conversation. I live in the NE right near Whitehorn ctrain station and I love the new crossing more than the damn bridge! I always missed a train because I had to walk an extra half km to get on to the platform.
I agree with the city that at-grade transit is cheaper and is worth cutting the cost. I foresee more avoidable deaths at train crossings but I am fine with this. Long live the humans that actually pay attention to the flashing lights and bells that go off like crazy to warn pedestrians.
