What??? their just spending too much to a train that's going nowhere...

1.4 billion for a transportation system that basically goes nowhere and has limited hours. Only a true train enthusiast could get excited about that.

Austin is implementing a system over the next few years. One of the stops is biking distance from my house so it should be pretty nice to go downtown without having to spend 20 minutes playing the "find an open parking spot" game.

To bad this is not in Florida in the Miami area. There is a lot of traffic down here and the population has increased. The light rail would be very useful here.

It is really good to have a public transport system as it not only saves fuel but also prevents environment from excessive pollution.

I am very excited about the light rail in Arizona. It will be exetremely easy!

As a blogger myself, I really enjoyed this post.

LOL - I'm proud of you too Jay - you better copyright that before some big travel company or something similar makes millions from it.

Nick - my pleasure. I live way off the actual light rail line, but I think you make a great point about utilizing the Park and Rides. The system doesn't have to take you from doorstep to destination to be useful. "Doorstep to Destination" -- I just made that up. I'm kinda proud of myself.

YES! I've been waiting for the light rail to be done for several years. It looks pretty slick - hopefully it gets used a lot.

I agree with Gregory - we need more projects like this throughout the U.S.

Thanks for the info - Nick

Jay, Public Transportation is exactly what our governments should be investing in to make the economy work. NJ should have a Mono Rail or Light Rail System in place that follows our highway the Garden State Parkway from North to South. It would be the same as in the 1950's doing an InterState Highway system. And, now that the economy is broke and we still don't have it, we should be drawing up the plans and breaking ground.

That government project would stimulate the economy and provide jobs. After it is completed there will be millions of opportunities for small business to set up and make money.

Good Luck with your system.

Jay, thanks so much for allowing me to write here and for your kind words. I was really honored when we first talked about it. (still am!)

Ahh about time they got light rail! This should be interesting to see when I next visit.

Yup, a light rail is really important for us.

I'm in North Phoenix and hadn't considered the sports game possibilities. At only $2.50 a trip, that will leave money left over from a 20 spot usually used for parking to buy a few beers. Yay :-)

We are suppose to be getting light rail in a few areas around the Fort Worth and Arlington areas
