World Series of Rail Systems!
Posted by mloik on Wednesday, October 1, 2008 1:16 AM

OK...

Metrolink, Amtrak-California, the NEC, San Diego Coaster, SEPTA, MBTA, all the various Chicago-land systems, the Downeaster, the hope for tamparail.....

Which rail system will win the passenger-ride World Series? (number of passengers going to games on the different rail systems)?

Which city will win the baseball World Series? 

 

Go Dodgers!!!!

Yes, the CTA does a good job of serving both Chicago ball parks, and--as least as of today--there's a chance that all of the World Series could be played here.

I guess, from what I've understood, LA has a similar opportunity this year.  Don't think their transit system is as effective, though.

And you can get from Wrigley Field to Comiskey Park (who would want to?) on the Red Line without having to change trains!!

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul
