There's a reason that east coast and midwest cities have such high ridership numbers on their light rail systems. Because it works.
Boston's MBTA and "T" subways are always packed. Same with Chicago's El trains and the commuter trains to the outlying suburbs. Same with NY's subway AND commuter trains. Etc.
L.A. blew it BIGTIME by not going for the monorail in the 1960s. They condemned this area to eventual saturation and "maxing out" by dependence on automobiles. It absolutely will choke off the growth potential of the area (and does already to some extent).
