This is a fantasy of sorts, but it has official backing so there's some likelihood of this being implemented. It would be truly amazing if everything on that map was implemented (including the smaller side projects in dotted grey).

NY, Boston, and DC already have so many angles covered. I'd like to see wide network of transit expand all over cities like LA, Seattle, and Denver. These cities have been and are working on building rail networks from the suburbs to the city, but they could all do better with rail transit within the city limits and around their urban cores. Seattle is doing well with that with the expanansion of Link Light Rail up to Capital Hill and the U-District, but could do a whole lot more, like cover neighborhoods such as West Seattle, Ballard, and Wallingford. Denver is constructing Light and Commuter rail to the cities outskirts in all directions, but has neglected to have any rail proposals built within cities important urban corridors such as Colfax and Broadway. LA needs straight up heavy rail subway from downtown/Wilshire all the way down Santa Monica to the Pacific and on to LAX with more direct connections.
Unfortunately, this isn't the fantasy room. If you wish to discuss ACTUAL transit systems, then first do a search to make sure the topic hasn't been compared/discussed before. If it has, please add to that existing discussion. If not, then you can create a new topic.
