Right, so, as I said, I'm talking about doing what the urban-rail system would do: allow more people to get into the core from the edges of the central city and help them move around once they get there.

And, like I said, that isn't a problem here.
The link below has a very good discussion about transit and congestion. The point is, it isn't about congestion at all.
