No, I think that Maryland pretty much proves that public transit doesn't work. You better tell London and Hong Kong and Tokyo and Paris and Beijing and New Delhi to shut down their systems.
Who said public transit doesn’t work? It clearly works some places. But what transit advocates ignore is that there is just one city in the entire US like London or Tokyo: https://www.citylab.com/equity/2012/10/americas-truly-denses.... In terms of weighted density, New York stands apart, 2.5x denser than SF or LA, and 5-6x denser than Seattle or DC.
The situation in Maryland illustrates what happens when you try to impose transit in a place that doesn’t have that kind of density.
You must have posted at least a dozen comments about the Maryland subway system in a thread about the Bay Area. Either you think the Maryland example is relevant to other areas, or you think it is irrelevant, and are just posting random anecdotes.
