Thanks. That's certainly the effect I was going for!

Austin has one line of light rail, which is essentially the Red Line on my map, albeit with much fewer stations (only nine in real life, and the termini are Leander and Convention Center, with stations at Plaza Saltillo, MLK Jr. Blvd, Highland, Crestview, Kramer, Howard, and Lakeline). It's certainly a light commuter rail line--it doesn't really go many places, and it's mostly for commuters who work downtown. There is talk of expansion east to Manor and south to Bergstrom airport, however Capital Metro, for now at least, is quite wary of building new lines from scratch. They're trying just to use existing freight rail lines (which is what they did for the existing Red Line). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there will be any major expansions or construction of a large urban rail network for quite a while. So, I'm fantasizing about what would be awesome to have in Austin.

Hopefully that gives you some insight into what's going on here.
