December 2, 2012 by Nick Bastian

There is always a lot of talk about the high cost of building a light rail line. By most counts, the construction costs are astronomical.

October 28, 2012 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

Just another reminder about the upcoming talks regarding the raise in bus and light rail fares. People can fill out online surveys, attend meetings, and participate in their “Tweet Chat” to give your opinion about the proposed changes.

Rail Life Pic Of The Week – Sun Devils Looking Good

September 9, 2012 by Nick Bastian Leave a Comment

The 2012 Sun Devils are looking good and they are fun to watch. I know, I know, the competition hasn’t been top ten or anything like that.
