    The biggest obstacle, besides politics and oil/gas money, is neither of these cities are non-car friendly. Both cities are so sprawling you end up spending significantly more time using public transportation than driving. That’s even if public transportation goes to the part of the city you need.

      They’ll each need an intermodal stop. That would be so much easier on passengers than the traditional airport stop and, given projected volume, would be essential.

      DART is pretty alright if you’re near a stop.
