Another stellar waste of money that's only good for ribbon cutting.
Upgrade some of the current infastructure/vehicles, offer more frequent service between Win/QC and that's it.

$25 billion could build enough rapid transit in the corridor that could literally move hundreds of millions a year as opposed to the paultry amount will this result in.

Good for the enviornment?..my ass! That's like saying one limited sale & speed green car is going to make as much of a difference as all cars reducing their emissions by 50%. It does nothing to promote TOD, transit, or greengas emmision reduction.

It's great for politicans and election ribon cutting but little else. Just improve the current system and spend the remaining $24 billion on projects that will make a real difference for the enviornment and quality of life.
