    Public transit will work in OKC when there is any area with the density necessary to support whatever mode is being used. The reason the streetcar doesn't have incredible ridership is because downtown doesn't have incredible population.

    Everyone who was talking through this 5-10 years ago was pretty clear: this is a starter route for a larger system.

    Anyone who thinks there is a substantially better route for the number of miles of track we had to build is fooling themselves. As a TOD + system starter, the route is just fine.
