I guess it just SEEMS like ten miles. ;-) Thumb measuring. I roughly gauge the distance from Dallas City Hall to NorthPark as 10 miles. Mockingbird to Bryan...
... I believe Portland's MAX system has much better results. I visit that city occasionally, and I see no decline in popularity. Quite the opposite, in fact....
