“This is not transportation for the wealthy,” Davis said. “It’s very affordable, very accessible and very, very comfortable.”
Davis told the commission that the system would be built in phases, with initial plans for five to 10 stations to open within the first six months once construction begins. About 15 to 20 stations would be added each year until full buildout, he said.
