I'll agree subways work in highly dense neighborhoods, but even New York City builds subway corridors at grade or above grade when there isn't that much density anymore....
The proposed rail line to southwest Portland has very little density. I can see building a tunnel through tall hills, but not all the way to Tigard and points west.

To clarify; in Vancouver, that is the number of FARES on the transit sytem, which shot up drastically during the Olympics have settled back to normal.
And yes, I made a real mistake: It's 150,000 per day, not Million!!
(Nevertheless, we do four times the business Seattle does with its LRT)
Secondly, I though this was going to be a heavier-rail subway, not just LRT in a tunnel.
Thirdly and most imprtantly .............. you're right!! I haven't got a clue,
and should have stayed out of your forum altogether! (Just trying to be neighbourly, as Vancouver and Portland have almost the exact same Metro populations, and are not too far from each other)
But it is better that you work it out for yourselves, so please excuse the foreign intrusion !!
