And DART doesn't have the ridership base of Metro, plus it has the incredible disadvantage of having to deal with far more municipalities and competing systems within the metro. If DART had the unified tax base and didn't have to campaign against every municipal resistance group and competing entity, the D2, Orange and Green lines would have opened years ago and the 2030 plan would be the 2015 plan. DART takes a lot of heat around here, especially from people in the suburbs, but given the political situation in DFW with 10 trillion municipalities seriously competing for everything you could imagine, its a marvel that DART has been able to do what it has done and maintain a decent ridership. Just check dallasnews.com sometimes. Its crazy how vilified DART is to some.
