I supported regional (commuter) rail between the three cities at that time. However given the success of the RiverLINE at about 35 miles and the potential Gold Line in Los Angeles reaching 51 miles once the Foothill extension is built out, I can surely support LRT for the Triangle. Raleigh-Durham, per Amtrak's timetable is 28 miles. Chapel Hill is not served by Amtrak, but the distance from Raleigh is about 25 driving miles, and from Durham is about 10 miles by car.

Given the cost for implementation, I suspect you're right, Kevin, that this line would be similar to NJT's RiverLINE. I hope planners opt for CNG for cleaner emissions and faster acceleration.
