CLT transit: could be better, right? 🚈 What's you #1 wish to make it better? Getting around without a car feels like a side quest sometimes. Anyone else dream of a Light Rail that actually goes places? Or maybe more bike lanes so we can ditch the gas guzzlers?

I’m going to avoid getting on my soapbox because as a Charlotte native I’m very passionate about the lack of appropriate city/county growth planning.

I would love a light rail that goes to where a majority of commuters live. I would ride the light rail all the time if it went to north Charlotte/LKN area, Belmont/Gastonia, Matthews, etc. The problem is instead of investing into smart, quick commuter transit they did dumb stuff like the trolley (not talking about the Gold Line). I don’t think bike accessibility would change my car habits with kids and where we live, but I’m 100% a supporter of making more roads bike friendly.
