It is a neat idea. But many of the reasons that kept the Ashby's from developing the line. (Lack of parking, too long of a trip, high operating costs, and right-of-way issues) are still there. Then add on the additional challenges of a competing operation at the same off-ramp, no space for a shop or depot (the Ashby's looked at it as an extension of the Loop)and you get an idea of why it most likely will never happen.
