Trains.
Considering the condition and location of Rochester's train station, is it any wonder why train useage is so low, and why people practically don't ever consider it as a means of travel?

I wouldn't want it in a suburb. I WOULD want it, however, on West Avenue. The train tracks are already there!

did you bring the kids to the station? i'm sure they would like seeing the trains, at least.
the thing is, during the height of the rail era, the tracks were a corridor of commerce and industry through any cities or towns they passed through and the station was a major point of entry and egress. the cities, as a result, grew around commerce and industry. NOWADAYS, comercial and industrial concerns move out of town where land is cheaper and Main Street USA turned into bumtown.
also since rail travel is so much out-of-fashion cities and towns aren't all that keen to spend a lot of money on, say, landscaping. most of the people who go there are just schmuck commuters, anyhow.
