Problems in Megalopolis

A big problem Seattle faces is traffic congestion. It is number one in the country! Railways that dominated Seattle in the early 20th century were built over with routes for buses which then became routes for cars. Similar to early Los Angeles that also had railway cars. It has become a huge public issue that has had PSA's played on TV.  Through this they created a new commuter rail system to help fight traffic, It connects Seattle to Everett to Tacoma. In  the 1990's cult film Singles  one of the main protagonists can be seen trying to pitch a railway system to the mayor in an attempt to help fight traffic.
