The feasibility of the new LRT system in the city of Bryan and College Station
Also, light rail system often leads to transit oriented development (TOD) and traditional neighborhood design (TND), thus minimizing urban sprawl. It also works well for highly dense regions, since we can add capacity by adding an additional car and still use the same Transit Operator. According to Dan Burden's talk on walkable communities, if attractive walkable communities are built at places where people actually want to go to, we can attract more people to live in those communities. To summarize, light rail system promotes building healthy and traditional communities along its line of service.
