Building a Public Light Rail System in Flint Michigan from Shawn Chittle on Vimeo.

My idea is to leverage the 100+ years of General Motors infrastructure so Flint Michigan could build a low-cost light public commuter system. All the railroad tracks are in already in place.

By building some basic platforms, establish a schedule, and put the trains on loop. People hop on and hop off as they need. Park and ride from the suburbs. It would add jobs, save gas and time.

Few cities in America have as many interconnected rail systems, and Flint could be a model for others to follow.
