Tour of Charlotte's LYNX Light Rail Line

The opening of the LYNX Blue Line was a watershed moment for progress, transportation, and technology in Charlotte, NC, and the southeast in general. In this video, we ride from I-485 to 7th St. Station and back. Music by http://www.myspace.com/deritastudio

What was that at 4:03?

[deritastudio]

Do you mean the sound indicating the doors are closing?

[Jnelson09Returns]

If that's what that was, that's messed up.

[Jnelson09Returns]

I... guess.

They still are widening over in the great state of raleigh! There building 2 new beltways that cost enough to finish the LyNX 2030 plan now. 400,000,000 dollars total! Haha! What saps!

[Beejjjjjj]

I thought a system was being built in the Research Triangle area already, no?

We NEED more! we owe mayor pat mccrory something for securing funds for this! He's definatly going to the govenor's office!

If they actually had the part of this that would go to the university area I would so actually use this. But chances are it wont be til like 2013.

I can't for my next visit to Charlotte. I'm parking the car in the nearest P&R lot, and doing the town light rail style.

Way to go, Charlotte...Wish some of that progressive success would rub off on this backwards, country bumpkin town, Birmingham.
