I’m in Fort Worth for a conference and I almost took a 60 dollar Uber to sit in DFW traffic, instead of this lovely train that picks up in the airport and goes downtown for 2 DOLLARS.

This is one underserved/minor route I feel electrification could revolutionize its service where you could do half hour service with EMUs.
New Mexico's Rail Runner Express has carried nearly 16 million passengers since its first segments opened in 2006. The full route to Santa Fe opened in late 2008.
