Extending the Metrorail

            As Austin expands its area and population, a major question has been raised.  Should Austin extend the Metrorail? I believe Austin should extend the Metrorail, but should extend it to all citizens and major points in the city of Austin. The metrorail should be on a bridge system or have bridges over major traffic congestion points.

             

            Austin will sooner or later develop a rail system like the major cities of the Earth. Austin’s rail line needs to be built correctly and efficiently. The rail needs to supply all types of people. The rail line needs to be cheap while benefiting the people with multiple trains, while trying to supply many people by having multiple locations to stop. It can to be cheap while benefiting the people by taking the money earned from charging the riders and putting it towards purchasing more trains and rails. Multiple trains with multiple stops that have short waiting periods at each stopping location would help a lot. Instead of having to wait 30 minutes, the time should be cut down to 15 minutes to make a higher possibility of more passengers. Locations such as 6^th street require a stop to help prevent DWI’s. I also believe the capital should have a very much, well deserved stop. The rail line needs a bridge system, but since that can become very expensive. I recommend bridges be built over major congestion points, especially downtown streets. If the train runs across the streets of downtown it will stop multiple streets at once and cause even worst traffic congestion in Austin.

             

            Overall any rail line proposed needs to help traffic and connect the city to help secure riders. Therefore the rail line could provide more money to produce even more trains and more rail lines to connect the different locations throughout the city like the trains of other major cities.
