Not to defend ST but what about the Sounder commuter train?
ST is phenomenal… during the 3-4 hours it runs in the morning and afternoon.
To get Sounder up & running, Sound Transit had to lease existing rail lines from freight companies who need to run their own trains most of the day. 1/
And because Sounder has to run on already-existing tracks, it goes through residential areas where train speeds have to be limited in case of accidents. At least that’s what the transit employee I talked to about the Sounder train on the phone back in the late 90s told me. 2/2
