Mehhhhh, I am still skeptical.

What sort of zoning laws did Portland have before and after it's streetcar for example.

And for that matter, I still am unconvinced about the metro vs. streetcar example. Metro is underground and doesn't have to deal with car traffic or bad weather which creates much better service.

It looks to be similar to an express bus in amount of stops. But I am skeptical as to weither it will create that much of a quicker journey to Metro especially for long haul riders.

I guess my beef is, while it definetly can work as a development catalyst, it really doesn't seem very useful as a transportation medium. The only way I see it achieving real justification is if in 10-15 years, Columbia Pike becomes the second Rosslyn-Ballston corridor.
