Answer 11

I have to say that I will probably be biased in my answer. The best light rail system I have been on? There is St. Louis, San Diego, Denver, Portland, Sacramento and Los Angeles. I cant difinatively choose a "best" one as each system has it's own unique characteristics. But, as I said, I am biased. I worked on the manufacture of each of them. If I were hung on a cross and threatened with fire, I would have to choosed the San Diego system for its ease of operation and maintenance and for its compatibility with earlier LRV systems.

Answer 12

Washington, DC

Answer 13
