LRN Street Event shows how space is a terrible thing to waste...

Eighty cars line up to fill up three lanes in downtown Austin.

Without their cars, the drivers take up little of the lane space.

Grouped together as if in a light rail vehicle, the same drivers take up little space and even have room for a couple of bikes and blind passengers with seeing eye dogs.

Light Rail Now! presented
a dramatic display of one
key benefit of light rail...
the ability to move large
numbers of people quickly
in a small amount of space.

In reality, light rail could
carry even more than the
photos represent--up to 420 passengers on a three-car train
