I think it walks a very fine line between those two distinctions, and does it fairly well.

Currently it takes the MAX 17 minutes to go from Goose Hollow to Rose Quarter without taking major action to reduce this the system as implemented serves commuters best as it's not a competitive mode for moving from one side of the City Center to another.
Comparatively, you can get from Rose Quarter to E 102nd Ave or from Goose Hollow to Millikan Way in roughly the same time as crossing the City Center.
