I love the apartments built right next to Opus Station, we desperately need more transit oriented development in the US❤

Great to see the progress, impressed with the amount of grade separation, this route should be able to maintain pretty good speed. My main concern watching this footage is with the station integration into their surroundings. Many of the stops seem to have too little pedestrian access, or only has access on one side when there should be access on both. I feel planners often underappreciate how important quality pedestrian connections are to successful transit.

@@simonmrnka3405they’re aiming for 2027, but definitely before 2030. Construction is about 70% done. Don’t quote me on this but I thought in the original plan it was supposed to open this year! Some funding issues, environmental test, and people who are against it have been holding it back.

happy for more transit, but it seems from this video this part of the line will be way less utilized than the existing metro infrastructure. Also the amount of bridges and tunnels needed for this route... I am shocked in hindsight it is even being built.

It was basically forced through by an unelected group that thinks there will be demand when the service isn’t meeting the demand there already is and it is unwanted by many parts of the community.

trains run every 15 minutes, take maybe 30 seconds to at most to cross (including the signal delays for safety) and have signal priority at the light. anytime a car waits for the train will pale in comparison to the time they sit waiting for other cars at a red light. i don't think it'll be a problem

The line will bring all the problems from Downtown to the suburbs. Assaults, drug use on the train, fare jumpers. They have about 3 years to get these problems addressed before it opens. The drone footage at 200 feet and the music make it sound idyllic.

Basically a decent route. A few stations though, are quite out of the way. The Bryn Mahr station is so isolated they needed to build a special embankment and walking bridge to get to it. Never been impressed with the city planners- ever

It would have been much better if they could have gone straight through Uptown, but they couldn’t.
