Oops... when placing my submission, I assumed they were looking for normal people names instead of silly names or nicknames.

Silly me... I was on break, and watched the landing from my break room with an obstructed view instead of going outside on the ramp like some of my co-workers did.

It makes me mad that they're squandering a wonderful opportunity to build BRT to light rail standards on such a wide ROW corridor.

 

Were citizens who attended an in-person session shown the pros and cons of BRT vs. a fancy bus that's still in mixed traffic?

 

If yes, were there really more people who preferred a fancy bus in mixed-traffic? Perhaps if the NIMBYs showed up...

With Richland Hills Station shutting down, there are now zero TRE stations between 35W and East Loop 820.

Zero convenient stations for anyone living in this area.

Trinity Metro should consider building a TRE station at Beach Street.

Trinity Metro is celebrating its 40th anniversary with free local bus and train rides (Tarrant County) all November long.

 
Update: I have not seen a noticeable increase of passengers riding TEXRail to / from DFW airport this month despite rides being free.
 
I wonder if there's been any increase on the TRE or buses...

Update: It did seem like TEXRail ridership went up in December... and trains still seem a bit busier now than when I posted that. It appears free fares didn't do much.
