Why cant they use existing train tracks for this stuff?
Are regular trains not capable of going 55 mph or so?

And people wonder why they make jokes about mass transit being called Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta or similar names.
It’s basically a delivery system for low income minorities who, if other cities are any indication, will use it as a jumping off point for robbing people.

Without doxxing myself, I run a local business related to residential and commercial construction, as well as regional distribution.

The best way to do this in the long run is by what happened today. Yes, they will still come, but not at the accelerated rate mass transit would have led to.

West-sider here, too.
Nashville smells like shite...especially the west side out past Kingston Springs.
Stay where you are, carpetbaggers.

This is actually the big hurdle preventing the NOLA/BR commuter train. There is a long section of ancient trellis bridge across the Bonnie Carrie Spillway which has a crazy low speed limit. In order to make the train make any sense from a travel time perspective, they'd have to replace that section, but it would cost upwards of $250 million to do so.

Nashville is great. There half a dozen rural areas within 20 or 25 minutes of downtown. I drive into downtown at all hours of the day and rarely takes me more than 30 minutes
Nashville traffic is hell, especially if you are commuting downtown from I-24. You must be doing something right.

It would cost a lot less than $9B to just ask him.
Nashville must have an especially stupid strain of leftist. You are supposed to do this in an almost secret “special” election where 8% of the voters can decide it.

I hope all the voters that said no come out to the public workshops for the next plan and offer input. That's where these plans are made.
