Capital Metro Rail Line

The Capital Metro Go line will begin running sometime around next year in 2008. Many people are for it any many people are against it. Of those people that are for the railroad are the ones that rely on the Capital Metro transportation system on a daily basis. I am for the railroad system and agree with everything for the most part. The railroad line will facilitate on how people get to work, school, and other places. The railroad line will be running from Leander to downtown. Normally it would take an hour or a few hours to get to one place to another but with the train it would be more then less the half of time.
The people that do not agree with the Capital Metro railroad are those who do not want the train running so close to their house. The tracks though have been there for a while without a use, and since they are already there might as well give them a use on something useful. I think it is silly of those people opposing to it just because the train will be running fairly close to their house, as a matter of fact, even though there was a not a train running at the time they still knew train tracks were there and sooner or later there would be a use for them.
I rely a lot on the Capital Metro transportation because it is affordable and convenient, and now it will be more convenient with the rail line opening soon. I can’t wait!

I totally agree that the metro rails are going to be an exciting and wonderfully helpful addition to the austin community. There are far more pros than cons when it comes right down to it. They will help cut down on pollution, travel time, help save money on the never ending rise of gas prices, etc, etc. I can understand how the noise could upset neighborhoods that the tracks will be running in but as you said, if the tracks are already there then put them to good use. Help out the community and the world you live in. I too can't wait until they start running. Hooray Metrorails!
