Sound Move (A): The Debate Over Seattle's Regional Transit System
內容大綱
The idea that the introduction or expansion of urban light rail systems could ease traffic congestion and air pollution has caught the imagination of many in American cities in recent decades. Yet, at the same time, questions about the efficiency and benefits of rail, compared with other transportation systems, have also arisen. This series of cases describes a long-running political and analytic battle in Seattle between rail transit proponents-including some of its leading planners and citizens-and opponents who believe the costs of a proposed new system, to be financed through a $3.9 billion bond package, will exceed its benefits.
