Light rail preferred option in S. Davis

Yes make it very convenient so when I need to have 3 kids at different places from Centerville to Bountiful that it will all work for me. And what about Sunday meetings, traveling to visit family or attend other services in Fruit Heights, Layton? How about the four cemeteries we visit on Memorial Day. Light rail or UTA busses are certainly high on my list of forms of travel....NOT!!!

The Airport LRT line still presents a challenge with this proposal. I still prefer the Airport line to use 600 West (which provides an easier connection for those from outside of Salt Lake City). If a 400 West Airport line was used, it would block the route for a South Davis route and limits the amount of trains/hour at 400 West & South Temple.

Why don't they just expand bus service in the area? Light rail, in my opinion, wont be very economically feasable.

It will cost a lot more to run and maintain, and not very many people in Davis County will ride it. It really lacks the population density to warrant such a system.
