It was designed by local insiders with no transit experience and who turned a deaf ear to any other ideas or input.

Very big upside is the ROW was secured and rebuilt. Remember GGT wanted to pave it for a busway. Worse things could have happened, such as with the line south of Larkspur.

IMHO the current iteration is not viable unless the rupins of Marin are willing to dig way into their deep pockets to royally subsidize this thing. Kinda doubt it.

I was right with my prediction of August startup - let's see how I fare with the suggestion pullback to one-man operation will be on the table by New Years.

It is going to be a slow, slow reinvention. Obviously San Rafael and Larkspur are not excited, otherwise they would be lobbying for upgrades.
