Durham/Orange light rail

Wake up Durham and Orange taxpayers! The train is coming down the track.

We taxpayers are about to be sold a bill of goods that we will have to pay for with our tax dollars from now on. With now available electric busses and autonomous busses coming shortly, why do our elected officials with the responsibility to make a good decision on future public transit insist on using 100-year-old train/track technology to actually reduce service to the public.

Beware, if you engage a company that specializes in designing rail systems guess what their recommendation will be.
