This is truly the last best hope for urban rail we've got. It's got substantial flaws - like attempting to run reserved guideway in the right lane in places; and it doesn't go where it needs to go (Guadalupe), but this is all we're going to get, and unlike commuter rail, it doesn't preclude doing more/better down the road (what little is left to do - i.e. going up Guadalupe to the Triangle).

I just hope there's enough residential demand in Riverside and Mueller to make up for not going by the Triangle and West Campus. I don't have a lot of confidence that this is likely to be the case.
