The U.S. is currently planning 721 regional transit projects. Don't hold your breath for their completion, though.
First, the good news: there are 721 fixed guideway transit projects being planned in American cities. These include commuter rail, subways, streetcars, and certain bus lines, and would create or improve networks in 109 regions, providing transit access to millions of households and jobs.
The bad news? With current federal funding levels, it would take 78 years to construct the two-thirds of those lines that have cost estimates.
