The orange Circle Line is the most recent, and cost an estimated ~8 billion USD.
(The map is old; it's already complete).
Hmm.
You could load up on Thursday.

i have not met one single seacher who thinks schools are good the way they are, not one
opinions range from, "they're kind of shitty but it's the best we can do with what we have" to "nuke it from orbit and start again"

Thanks for explaining the joke, Wikipedia
Thanks, bro. :^:
houston built a light rail system a number of years ago. the line bisects downtown, running from just on the north side of downtown to a little south of the city. basically, it connects the two U of H campuses, which oddly enough the president of U of H was on the board that decided where to build the light rail. What a coincidence!
Anyway, the train runs on the street level, on regular streets with cars. When they designed the rail they decided to use these state-of-the-art cars that are super quiet, since the train runs through some neighborhoods. One problem - quiet trains means peope can't hear them when they need to! And since it is on street level, the train had huge problems hitting motorists and pedestrians. Unfortunately some people were killed IIRC. Anyway, the solution? Put this obnoxious screeching bell on the train. So now it is no longer silent and is ten times worse than if they had gone with a normal train that makes noise.
Not to mention the fact that the train isn't like a subway where you de facto have to buy a ticket due to the gates. There are no gates. You're supposed to buy a ticket, but no one does. Why would you? They don't check for tickets and there's nothing that prevents you from getting on the train without one.
Did I mention that the train runs on the street? Since the train bisects downtown north/south, it is a traffic nightmare. It constantly snarls up traffic in downtown. I regularly wait 5 minutes at a light for the train to go by on my way home from work. It is terrible!
And now they want to put in a second line, running east/west through downtown, also on street level, that crosses the north/south train. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG HERE? Not to mention the fact that it's going to double the traffic problem created by the first train, as you'll have trains waiting for other trains, and cars stopped waiting on those trains.
Houston is a very large city by area. Insanely large. You can drive for an hour on the highway and still be in "Houston". Right now Houston has a pretty expansive commuter bus system that utilizes the HOV lanes on the highways, but even then when the busses get downtown they still create traffic. And even though they are in the HOV lane they can still get backed up with traffic on the highways. Not to mention the fact that the operating costs (fuel, drivers, maintenance) must be insane.
What Houston needs to do is take that money they're using building the light rail and make a real proper commuter rail out to the suburbs. Ditch the busses that create more traffic, lower your operating costs, fit more people on each load, deliver more consistent service. There are even a few derelict buildings on the outskirts of downtown that could be knocked down and turned into a rail station!
yeah this was pretty much me
I would be like, I am doing X thing
and they would say no you can't!
and I would say yes, I will and then do it
I was a horrible teen
babies are for kissing
kissing dogs is sloppy

He also enjoys shitting on the bed when you are away for more than an hour.
Because he's a fucking rabbit and not a pet.
I just wish they would extend the orange line to Fair Oaks or Fair Lakes.
You don't think I should try a barrage of messages through all forms of social media, multiple phone numbers, emails, and IMs?

I am already very loaded up. I have thousands of dollars of booze. It's actually not a problem for me at all!
like even when they do want to jump up on your knee for attention they do it with their claws out

It is kinda worth noting that this is actually supposed to be a local commuter rail line that will allow people from orlando's sprawling suburbs to get into the city proper, and the high speed rail line that was rejected was only going to be an express line connecting major cities and attractions, while not really doing anything at all for residents.

Just to clarify Gooey's post, he's asking why Meatloaf won't fix toilets.
No no no no.
Given that the entire economy is based around pretty much exclusively around tourism, one is a little more useful than the other.
So bored and i don't feel like doing anything.

I will try to win the lottery by then.
Then the next step is consumer priced Google AI personal helicopters, and then traffic will be gone forever.
It's like my attention is a torch in a shaking hand, it can light up a bunch of things, but not very brightly and never for long.
Because then Google will own the world and we'll work in the bandwidth mines forever as slaves.

It also would not have cost Florida a dime. The Sunrail now will, for the most part, connect the airport with Disney and was only approved when Orlando's congressidiot held the Port of Miami hostage for billions of dollars out of the Florida budget.
The important part is that Scott doesn't understand how government works, how budgeting works, and just wanted to stick it to Obama.
Unless the sunrail plans have changed in the three years since this all happened?
You can easily hop on the rail in Cleveland without a ticket. But if they catch you they will be tremendous dicks about it, so you don't want to do that.
So, it's all about how lucky you feel.
well we won't have to, but you only get like 15mbps internet without working in the mine and not even LTE on your phone
