  1. Yes, but typically due to the speed of the rail system, such delays are minor, and there is the possibility to run under or over major intersections to avoid any such delays in traffic if they become problematic.

  2. Wrong, it is not any more subject to weather conditions then road traffic, if anything less so because it's a dedicated transportation corridor and clearing it takes priority.

  3. Yes, however I would say an acceptable sacrifice given the business spin-offs a nearby stop could offer.

  4. I see you point, but I personally feel it is wrong. Whenever you make public transit more efficient and accessible you have people opting for it instead of car traffic. To what extent is debatable though.

  5. I'm still not getting it. You are correct, that there won't be underground opportunities on a predominantly surface based rail line, however any nearby stop locations would likely benefit from increased pedestrian traffic and ease of access.
