	Buffalo's Metro Rail by Maria R
		The LRRT was to transform the city of Buffalo into a booming metropolis that would enjoy the conveniences and economic benefits of moving large numbers of people efficiently and ecologically.
		According to Harold McNeil of The Buffalo News, "Local governments' unwillingness to contribute to the extension is a barometer of public sentiment" (E7).
		This would substantially increase the total ridership of the Metro Rail by efficiently linking inbound and outbound commuters with the entire NFTA system, without the large capital and operating expenditures that would be incurred with other proposed options (Collison B4).

	Buffalo, New York

		Rail transit "solves" the congestion problem by providing an alternative means of access between origins and destinations, and into compact, traffic-gridlocked areas.

		A member of the Citizens Rapid Transit Committee, Catherine Fanasello, has suggested that the proposed Cobblestone District Metro Rail loop also be used for a vintage trolley service.
		Vintage trolleys could run on standard Metro Rail track, but, with combustible materials inside, could not carry passengers in the underground portion of the system.
		A line in Buffalo would serve multiple purposes while supplementing regular service: A downtown shuttle service, a waterfront shuttle, historic district shuttle, and a ‘downtown-to-feature’ role, the ‘feature’ being the Cobblestone District, Crossroads Arena, and adjacent waterfront.
