The original Blue Line provided 10.6 million rides as of last year and the Green Line has provided 12.4 million rides. Both lines have contributed to the decrease to the overall ridership of the Metro bus system. Due to the success of the Minneapolis light rail system there has been plans to expand it even further.

a) Heavy Rail versus Light Rail Costs: Heavy Rail system need track and power therefore it is less costly than bus for volumes greater than 30,000 (O’Sullivan). It is an efficient choice for big cities like New York, San Francisco, or Chicago. For example, the BART uses feeder bus system and heavy rail system. Its capital costs are high due to tracks and right-of-way (Bresnock). BART costs are more expensive than integrated bus system because capital costs, operating costs, and distribution costs

Trains are everywhere in our society, we have jokes, toys, movies, and children’s television shows, but did you know rail transport started in 6th century Greece? The city of San Antonio, Texas is a fast-growing metropolitan city that has a very tremendous amount of people. It has been estimated that the city will grow by another million people in the next ten to twenty years.

rhythm in the design. It’s not just a stair that has evenly and equally distributed steps, there are wide and large steps with that symbolizes a pause with each dozen of steps. The same can be say for the descending terraces and the hand rails. In particular, the hand rail is not connect, which reinforces the rhythm in the stair case. Upon walking toward the wide open entrance, your eyes will be directed toward a grand and beautiful art work hanging from the concrete wall. The art work has rhythm, axis
