Tampa tracks a sensible future: rail

The St Pete Times reports: Tampa tracks a sensible future: rail

BRANDON — A train, hardly larger than a bus and nearly as nimble, glides into the station at Brandon Boulevard and Kings Avenue. A cluster of passengers slips on board.

Some walked from nearby condos. Some stepped off buses that circulate through Brandon. Some parked in the station's lot. Now, they're off toward a series of stops that include Brandon Town Center, Ybor City and downtown Tampa.

Obviously, this is a long-range vision. But it's getting traction around Tampa Bay.

If we don't think long term and "go for it" we will never get out of our cars!
