Raleigh's new rapid transit system could mirror Richmond's

[@geodavras]

Good job Raleigh !

[@trevorthefoamer220]

Im still pissed that Duke managed to end the Durham Light Rail plan

[@The_Poro_King]

At least it can be upgraded to light rail in the future

[@allison4882]

This was more about Richmond than Raleigh

[@ramk9531]

Waiting for it

This will result in higher maintenance and upkeep costs, add to our already overpolluted atmosphere, and probably drive road rage incidents (and a corresponding increase in the VIOLENCE between motorists) off the charts! Light rail doesn't pollute at the vehicle level, and due to steel wheels on steel rails, is MUCH SAFER and MORE COMFORTABLE than the automotive option. Plus, rail, whether the track or vehicle, outlasts both street/road/stuperhighway surfaces, the automotive vehicles, and (ESPECIALLY) the tires they use by several orders of magnitude! Furthermore, the investment in solid steel rails means a PERMANENCE of the transit corridor, guaranteed to be there for several decades, whereas with even a BRT arrangement, it could be "here today, gone tomorrow"!!

This is a terrible idea. Brought down the light rail for this… Jesus

[@wturner777]

Talk about a downgrade. Smh

[@JBC1201]

This is stupid

[@Dave05J]

[@brayg488]

no youre just a narrow minded nimby

[@CraigFThompson]

@@Dave05J Because it SHOULD be LIGHT RAIL instead! Technically, a bus is just an AUTOMOBILE just like any car!!
