And, per Wikipedia (not sure of the accuracy):
Dallas' DART system (bus and rail): 185,753 daily ridership
Los Angeles Metro/LACMTA system (bus and rail): 1,259,017 daily ridership

That's not what I meant.
1990 LA MSA was about 11 million, and didn't have one single rail line to service that population.
Dallas, a much smaller city [current pop 6.4 million], has a much more expansive rail system already in place than a much larger Los Angeles did as recently as 1990.
