Re "two lines": The ridership from Mueller to ABIA is likely negligible. The important path is ABIA to UT and the Capitol. It remains to be seen if they'll simply multiplex various combinations here (i.e. you can pick up a train at UT that only goes downtown, or one that goes all the way to ABIA, as with the AirTrain at JFK). I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being basically one round-trip route with occasional spurs (Seaholm not being run at all at first; Long Center only being run on weekends).
Re RapidBus: Far as I can tell, they submitted for federal small starts funding and are waiting to see. I wrote our council members and asked them to block the project again as they basically did the last time around, but didn't hear anything back this time.
