[PRCo] Re: Rumors

[Ken & Tracie]

Not to get further off topic, but didn't some of the best informed and most
knowledgeable members of this list once predict that San Jose and Buffalo would be
the most likely candidates for abandonment of light rail service during the modern
era? San Jose has already suspended their heritage operations at least once, though
it may have been reinstated. Buffalo has lost quite a bit of its traffic base and
economic changes in both locales have kept these two systems from reaching their
projected ridership.

If San Jose does eliminate some weekend light rail service, it would be reminiscent
of the mid to late 1960s PAT era when some Pittburgh streetcar routes saw weekend
bustitution prior to totally replacement by motor coach. (How's that for getting
back on topic, Derrick?) :-)
