Houston has spent $104 million on studies for light rail that will never happen!  As taxpayers, do you feel like your money was well-spent?How do I get in on performing these kinds of studies for the city?!?  I forget how much $ was spent, but remember the traffic studies done here in Kingwood?  I wonder just how many "studies" the city is having done? 4951

If one came to KW, and ended up at the Energy Corridor, I would ride it. 4951

The new going from the George R. Brown that goes east to west is up & running. The other morning I was at a light when it went by, six cars & not one person was on the whole train! 4951

$104 million would have built me a hover car with some to spare. Selfish greedy politicians! 4951

That light rail is about the goofiest thing I have ever seen.  More of a hindrance than a help.Best public transit is NYC and Boston by far - crowded, old and crappy, but works really well. 4951

The train does NOTHING that busses cant do. And busses are a fraction of the cost. 4951

@rundmv:   AND buses have much greater flexibility in changing routes, or avoiding accidents and construction.
