Abstract:

A new plan for rail transit in the Triangle is experiencing some difficulties. The old plan for light-rail transit between Raleigh and Durham has been shelved. Currently, each county in the Triangle area is coming up with their own plan for light rail transit. Raleigh officials believe light-rail between Raleigh and Durham does not make sense, but Durham Mayor Bill Bell believes that it does. Local leaders talk about their plans and how the rail system will be funded.
