I am stuck on a business trip in beautiful Yuma, Arizona; so can anybody who goes to this thing pretty-please emphasize that it needs as much reserved guideway ("its own lane") as possible? ROMA tends to fall back to shared-lane streetcar because their expertise is in redevelopment of decaying downtowns - for which a tourist trolley is good business - but we need something which is actually competitive with the car and fairly reliable; our downtown doesn't actually need the development incentive - we actually need to be moving serious numbers of people with this thing.
