Comment of the Day
I would love it but I think it is totally unreasonable for all people who need the stops in between. Not everybody is able to walk to the nearest express stop. We need more trains but apparently is no space for more. What does that say about our infrastructure? And we can’t all move out further if our places of employment, entertainment and general life amenities don’t move with us.
