A Question For South Coast Rail [Poll Question]
Many residents around the South Coast have been waiting for commuter rail. The Transit System's $5.5 billion debt, aging equipment and huge maintenance needs, plus a present construction cost of $2.2 billion, and projected inadequate ridership, presents a tough nut to crack.
So, cut to the chase, with a much less expensive alternative that would also take less time to construct. Build a rail system between New Bedford and Lakeville Station. Agree?
Yes, I support connecting with the existing rail system by building a new rail between New Bedford and Lakeville Station.
No, I want the original idea of South Coast Rail, period.
I don't support either project.
