Based on what I've read, they sure don't know how to drive very well.

That's an unqualified conjecture without any demonstrable substance to it. All you can say is that there have been a lot of wrecks with light rail - something that is generally true of any city with light rail because light rail is inherently accident-prone. That doesn't mean everybody who gets hit is stupid. A lot of the ones who got hit were innocent motorists who found themselves caught in the midst of a faulty turn signal system on a poorly designed track.

You did not answer my question, BTW. You demand that we build rail to your specifications. You do not live here so, once again, what gives you the right?

Most of which were the fault of the automobile drivers, not the Metro.

No they're not. Most other cities are capable of operating their systems daily with no such problems. Idiot drivers in Houston don't seem to be very adaptable, however.

Blatantly untrue.
As far as I'm concerned, Houstonians can build their light rail to whatever specifications they want.
Afterall, THEY'RE the ones who voted in favor of it.
You're just peeved because you were on the LOOSING side of the referendum.
Too bad. So Sad. But it's tough beaners for you, I guess.
