Columbus is special. It's a 15 minute city by car outside rush hour. But gods help you if you don't have a car. The bus comes like every hour.
I spent years there trying to convince people that it needs light rail
Looks like you had a really good light rail system up until the late '70s?

I'm assuming Judge Doom got involved at that point and paved over the lines
That looks more like they had a role in the national rail lines and trams, before proposing a really good light rail system and continuously changing their minds to oppose it. Which is exactly what I'd always heard. "Rail is too expensive and difficult and it doesn't work, we've tried and it keeps getting proposed and shot down"
