I think the LR is a great idea,but the fact remains that our HRT needs to be fixed first.Most buses dont run after 5 or 6 pm. There are many who would prefer to take a bus to the train station and not drive at all.I could take a bus to the town center,catch the train to downtown Norfolk,go to a show,have a nice dinner,but when I return to the town center station,I would have no way to get home.I would be happy right now if the buses would just run longer hours.I do own a car,but if I start out in my car,I would most likely just drive all the way to my destination.I would like the option of not having to use my car at all.It will not help with traffic problems if everyone still must drive to get to the train.After visiting NYC and seeing that the buses run 24/7,I began to see a real problem here.My daughter can go anywhere up there and know that she can catch a bus or subway home.When she lived here,she would take the bus to the mall,but had to always find someone to give her a ride home.There are lots of people who dont own cars who must depend on others to travel at night since the buses stop running so early.I have 4 people at my current job who take the bus to work and must leave before 5pm to catch the last bus.Sorry this is so long,I just needed to vent alittle. Have a wonderful night.

I just wanted to say that I feel that public transportation in this city is terrible.Maybe more people would take the bus to work or to the mall,if they ran more.I live near Pleasure House Rd,and there are no buses after 6pm.I own a car,but would love to save the gas money by taking a bus.I know alot of people who would do the same,but for those who dont own cars and would like to visit our new town center area after dark,they are out of luck,if they dont live in certain areas of the city.Thanks for letting me rant.
