Story in Charlotte this morning has CATS seeking additional $15m to buy extra cars necessary for higher volume of traffic on new light rail system.
This is great news on many fronts. Access to excellent mass transit is a superb response to the problem. Take the train, spend less on gas, ease congestion of our highways.
Then my wife can tool the 'Burban that much easier....
Just kidding....kind of.
Seriously, a MARTA type system in Charlotte would be huge and there's no way I'd ever drive into Charlotte again if I could hop a train 5-10 minutes from my house and be in downtown/uptown/midtown 15 minutes later...for 2 bucks or whatever.
