Hi sweetheart, you're not from down here, are you.
The only place mass transit makes sense is near DT ATX, and north up to UT and the Domain area. Most other areas are not well served, and most people in ATX will NOT get out of their cars unless you have free transportation that runs at much more frequent intervals than what is proposed.
I have lived in Wash DC, traveled to San Francisco, Boston, Baltimore, and Atlanta, where there are some mass transportation options which make some sense. These plans need to better include traffic to/from ABIA and include moving people around the perimeter of ATX and not just to/from the DT core and UT.
Just one hobbyist's opinion.
