2. I'm totally for the bus service expansion

but not so sure about the light rail link. As of now many of the bus routes are impractical because of the 1 hr head times between buses. If you have to make a connects, you can be looking at 2+ hrs of waiting at unsheltered stops and 30 minutes of riding for a trip that takes 15-20 minutes by car. I tried going car-less when I first moved here, and gave up after a year. Clearwater- St Pete light rail doesn't make a lot of sense to me, Id rather see a St Pete - Tampa link but that can't happen without Hillsborough Cty.
