Call me an elitist, but I'd rather sit on a light rail train than a bus -- the train is more comfortable. I was surprised however that the rail line attracted so many more riders even thought it came less often than the bus it replaced.

Weekday ridership on a North Portland rail line attracted 76 percent more rides a week in the first year it opened than the bus line it replaced — even though the rail cars come less frequently than the bus did.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/26E9DAE0-AB07-4B7F-9DAA-2EB62E700328/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
