Light Rail in the Twin CIites

It took the Twin Cities too long to realize the benefits of going back to rails as an effective means of public transportation. Seems every city that adds light Rail sees ridership/demand exceed expectations, here is information about success here in the Twin Cities.. Two years after the Hiawatha line began service, the Met Council this week approved expansion of light rail. The new line will connect Minneapolis and St. Paul and could be running by 2014. Lets hope that additional expansion does not wait until 2014. An editiorial in the Startribune the other day suggested going to three car trains up from the existing two car trains.
