I would love to be near a transit line. I'm waiting for the day, when I can go to a station by my house and ride to downtown Houston, or the airport, or even down to Galveston. No more having to drive, pay for parking, or arrange a ride, or a taxi, or figure out a complex bus system. I'm not sure why there are still so many critics, when any type of rail has proven itself around the world.

Yup, hopefully Houston's commuter rail will look like Chicago's while i'm still alive.

It's bad for the airport. DFW likes having two airlines use it as a hub. Yet AirTran seems to be adding many flights there. Air Tran is now DFW's third largest carrier behind Delta. Yet Delta cannot pull out of DFW all together due to the huge amount of Delta Connection carriers there; ASA, Comair, Skywest. I bet many of the Delta mainline route will be picked up by Delta Connection. I assume mainline will continue to ATL, CVG, SLC, and maybe another like LAX. I don't think a huge difference will be noticed. Just a few more RJ's
