Great photo tour.   It was certainly depressing to see the poor turnout by local media.  Especially for something that could revolutionize the future of our region.

WOW!  This is great!  Lets get this thing going!

Lets see how our elected officials screw this one up.  That's exactly what we need, running from downtown to Orange Park, to Southside, to the Beaches, to the Airport... It'd be the best transit system in the state!

Does anyone have a shot of the proposed plan that was hanging on the podium?
