While I hope the town stays in, I think the exclusion of Leander Station from Red Line service would go a long way to improving all day service intervals for the rest of the system. It's a 17 minute trip each way from Leander to Lakeline. The region is better off as a whole if Leander remains, but at least Austin would probably stand to benefit with better service as consolation.
If they do leave, I wonder if there's any way to sue Leander for the cost of any major improvements like double tracking if they've been done on that part of the line.

The article mentions expenses which would still be owed by Leander even if they vote to leave. All in all, they need to stay.
