I don't know how there would be enough public support for expansion.

IMO - the more likely and needed rail project that would actually benefit locals would be a rail system that connects Edmond, Downtown, Tinker, Norman, and WRWA.
i don't disagree ..

i will also say the streetcar system should be free ... but the powers that be at Embark don't want it to be free .. ( even if it had sponsorship to cover the full cost which would be a very real possibility . ) .. except for a few weeks a year ..
