OMG: How Cool is that. You Go Tempe!
Good news!
Every 20 minutes is atrocious, if you want actual ridership you need closer to 5 minute frequencies.
Idk about every five minutes but every 15 mins should be the time frame
@@user-nv2mr6nn7c It’s pretty much the norm in many other nations in low and high density cities because you need very frequent service to make it more attractive than driving. Though since I’m not too familiar with the area, all I can hope is that businesses and homes are nearby the new streetcar or lightrail looking system.
looks more like light rail since it doesn’t really run on the street with cars, only operating on it’s own train only road. Cities like Philadelphia and Toronto has rather large streetcar networks here in North America if you want to see an example. 😅
OMG! I am happy that the construction is finally over. It feels like it has been under construction forever 🏗🦺 🚧 I am excited to get on this streetcar 😃😃😃
all that talk and video I still have no idea what the route is from where to where I need street name terrible reporting
Hahahaaa yeah! That would have been great.
It’s basically running in a circle around the ASU Tempe campus (including downtown). That’s it.
It is 2022!
Now tell the viewers the cost.
You didn’t pay for it
The hub of AZ genius ASU, excited to spend 200 million to go 3 miles.🤣
im embarrassed.
All the homeless people now have another air conditioned place to spend the day
@Paul B yep
Good news. I’m sure they’d appreciate some respite.
you're saying that as if it's a bad thing
@@zingclassy6457 yep. Yet another taxpayer funded project not meeting its intended purpose.
@@paulb6159it’s purpose is to please peoples necessities, poorly planned but still a nice project
No one knew our water supply was evaporating so it made perfect sense to dump 200 million into this instead.😉
people knew that already, look at upstate or even interstate deals about how much water AZ gets from the Colorado river
Ooooh, 200 million dollars to go a whole 3 miles!🤣 You fools sure know how to flush tax dollars down the toilet!!! Damn!😳 You definately want keep the folks who approved this in office, they've got a great future planned for you.🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s communism!! Ahh
Good news. Looky all the sheeple, happy the Government spent 200 million dollars to go 3 friggin miles. 😑
