<p>I see Nashville as a tough area. If they want ridership, they need to lay tracks everywhere I-40 goes, run 24/7 with a timely schedule.. say 20 minutes between trains at ANY station. and totally provide access to the necessary things like Post office, hospitals etc...</p><p>The Grand Ole Opery is nice but not necessary to the stressed out and roadraging commutor stuck in a gridlock on I40 downtown.</p><p>If there is ever transit in my area, they are going to need to beat my commute time to little rock, do it faster, 24/7 and less cost than what I pay for gasoline. Im just happy that I dont have to pay draconian parking fees or fight for that last spot in a stuffed tower like I recall doing in my early work years back home in the city.</p><p>Otherwise Im sticking to my auto. There are lots of smaller roads to take than that obselete and overcrowded interstate. But in my area, those smaller roads have slowly filled up with 80 mph maniacs revelling in the freedom from the 5 mph braking contest on the freeway.</p><p>Transit only works if you get the workers to the jobsite and home faster and cheaper than they would do it with a auto.</p>
