Many drivers in Highway I 35 seem to have become more reckless over the years causing irritation and road rage! A driver can wait in traffic for hours before getting from one side of town to the other. Our highway system in Austin was definitely not constructed to withstand the drivers of the fastest growing city in the nation. Therefore, I agree with Jose that a MetroRail transit system would be beneficial to Austin by providing more safety and mobile effectiveness to our transportation system.
Jose mentions that a MetroRail transit system will provide a quicker transportation system in Austin. A MetroRail system would definitely be helpful to overcome Austin’s unnecessary traffic. If more people use this MetroRail transit system it is likely that fewer cars will be on Austin's highways; this would also cause a less compacted transportation system for those who still wish to use their automobiles. In addition, those who use the MetroRail would have an easier and calmer transportation experience than those who currently waste their time and effort on the notorious highway I 35.
Jose also states that a MetroRail system would improve the safety of our city, and I agree with this. He mentions that MetroRail is “eco-friendly” and does not require fossil fuel. I believe this is extremely important since NASA claimed that 2016 was the warmest year yet; if we don’t aggressively attack climate change soon then we’ll be frowned upon by future generations for not keeping the world safe for them. In addition, a MetroRail transit system would reduce the stress that comes with our traffic. Rather than worrying if a driver is about to cut you off on the road you can catch up on work during your transportation experience in a MetroRail transit system. This provides tranquility to Austinites, reducing the chances of one getting an anxiety attack or making irrational and dangerous decisions on the road
