“The Dallas streetcar project is another great example of how the Recovery Act is creating jobs and providing accessible transportation,” said then-Secretary of Immobility Ray LaHood in 2011 when he funded the project. Now that it’s been open for about a year, how many people are riding it? About 150 to 300 per day.
This is just one in a series of dramatic failures documented by the transit-friendly Streetsblog. After Atlanta began charging fares for its streetcar, ridership fell below 1,000 per day. Salt Lake’s streetcar carries a few more than that, but only about a third of the original projections. Tucson’s is supposed to be more successful, carrying 4,000 per day, but most of them are students who get major discounts.
Meanwhile, the cost of the Cincinnati streetcar has gone up from $102 million to $148 million. It won’t be completed until September, so there’s still time for more cost overruns.

Speaking of cost overruns, the Federal Transit Administration now projects that the Honolulu rail line, which was already outrageously priced at $5.3 billion, will cost closer to $8.1 billion. Since the rail line won the approval of 50.6 percent of votes, they plan to complete it no matter what the cost.
Why does the word “Proxmire” ringing in my ears?
If you are a rail transit system then you are a boondoggle that wastes tax dollars. That’s what you do.
“Since the rail line won the approval of 50.6 percent of votes, they plan to complete it no matter what the cost.”
50.6%, with a good margin of error for fake ballots, dead people voting., etc.
“… already outrageously priced at $5.3 billion, will cost closer to $8.1 billion.” The original projection did not include payoffs (sorry, consulting fees) to local pols and their families….
