Thanks for the information! I'm only asking because I'm trying (for a project related to my schooling) to figure out whether Worcester, MA, is large enough to support a light rail system. It has a population of about 176,000, the second largest city in New England after Boston. With the MBTA Fraingham/Worcester line terminating at Union Station, and Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited also serving the station, the light rail system could serve as a feeder line for those services. Perhaps it might also serve the underutilized Worcester Airport (7000 foot runway and $15.7 million terminal, and there's one commercial airline right now!) to relive congestion at Boston Logan. And people are more likely to take light rail to get places than a bus, which is the current mass transit system.For those who are wondering about this schooling project, the First Lego League robotics competition (which I'm to old for, but I'm a mentor for a team) has a transportation theme this year. The objective of your reserch project is to get involved with your community and solve a problem related to your local area. I'm just doing a little work beforehand... Plus since I'm going to send the completed study to the city of Worcester, if they actually use it and build a light rail line, that would be really neat! Do you think a light rail line is feasable? I'm checking out Google Maps for some possible routes, seperated into different construction phases. Being affordable isn't too big of a deal; Worcester won't be able to afford it themselves, but hopefully they can snag some of that stimulus money...
