The big 10 minute delay is worth hundreds of millions of dollars? Give me a break. This works in DC and SF and NYC, not Milwaukee. Milwaukee is a small city and will always be. It has not a fraction of the congestion that the aforementioned large cities have. I like the whole thinking big idea, but all anyone comes up with is rail. You may pass the traffic on a train, but lose it all when you have to find your car.
