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.
