I'm wondering if there's something further that can be started to give the community even more of a sense of ownership of the system.
This thought is inspired by my learning of what the English city of Nottingham did when they launched their LRT system 10 years ago: they named each train, after a local personality. This was for those famous (figure skaters Torvill and Dean, writers D.H. Lawrence and Lord Byron), legendary (Robin Hood), or simply locally prominent (a respected bike store owner, charity campaigners).
I'm not saying this *exact* idea should be followed, but it's a point of inspiration to see what we could do.
Anyone have thoughts?
