	+ ------ + ''2014-01-18 23:39:50'' [[nbsp]] Buffalo's MetroRail may not be as widely used as planned because it was cut off at the city limits due to opposition from Amherst, where it was supposed to connect to the new suburban campus of SUNY at Buffalo. But it still gets a lot of use because it runs down the major street dividing the city in half and connecting to many crosstown bus routes, and ends at SUNY Buffalo's original campus. I used it all the time when I lived there. Anyway, Rochester doesn't really have an obvious "Main Street" like Buffalo that would make sense for such a project. Also, Rochester is not dense enough - even Buffalo was judged just barely dense enough for the MetroRail, and that was before the several decades of huge population losses that followed. So it would seem that improving bus service is better suited for Rochester but even that is a challenge as the city continues to shrink and there are fewer and fewer interesting destinations to connect - or the destinations move further and further apart. --["Users/Rhywun"]

Much of daily commuting is spent with the engine mostly idling at interminable series of red lights, which generates stress upon car engines and produces impressive amounts of useless pollution.

	+ ------ + ''2012-09-07 13:10:51'' [[nbsp]] While I hate sprawl, Rochester is a cakewalk to drive around compared to other major East Coast cities. The fact that I consider every only going 30 mph on the highway a "traffic jam" is why I love Rochester. Light rail is a great dream, but Rochester isn't really dense enough to warrant this. Buffalo has one and no one uses it because it only goes in a straight line. Maybe we need to make the buses better to ride. --["Users/PDub"]
