To my Tucsonan friends that want to be sentimental about the modern day street car that cost 200 million dollars to build... Here is the issue. People want to say how modern it is? Really? How it will revolutionize transportation? Really. A 4 mile strip that runs from Down town Tucson to University of Arizona? 2 of the hardest places to park in the city. How much of the population will this serve? Oh and the operating budget is 4.4 million dollars per year... What is the cost to ride this money pit? $1.50 per day... That means it needs 2.9million rides per year or over 8000 people per day X 365 days per year to ride this thing to break even.... Call me a pessimist. this is just keeping it real folks. Lets do a countdown till we see the TV ads to help increase ridership.
