If this actually materializes it could be a huge deal-- I'm really skeptical about the reality of any new US subway projects but if this moves past the hearings stage it'll be really exciting.

I enjoyed visiting Philly and found it relatively easy getting around on transit, any additional is very welcome! I'm in Houston and it blows my mind that a city this size has to rail to either airport and one bus that would take forever to get downtown. It's saying "welcome visitor, now go get a car"

I could never imagine going no car in Houston or really almost anywhere in Texas. It makes me sad-- two of the largest metro areas in the US should have better transit.

It's vaguely possible if you live in Midtown or close by, but it would be a real challenge. Even then driving and parking is still the easiest option from a time standpoint
