<p>[quote user="CandOforprogress2"]With numbers like this it is hard to justify rail as as a cost saving measure.[/quote]</p> <p>It would make me wonder if cost saving was a reason for the Blue Line Extension.</p> <p>Usually here in Europe the reasons are development of quarters along the route, taking cars from congested streets, relaxing parking situation, getting cleaner air.</p> <p>BLE uses the NCRR row on about half the length. I read that more than 300 properties had to be bought.</p> <p>If using NCRR track would be a good decision? You would have to follow the FRA rules for everything, including crashworthiness rules. They are much stricter than for light rail.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
