The Metro light rail and it's effect on me

The opening of Metro light rail on Dec. 27 will provide the ASU community with yet another convenient method for travel around the greater Phoenix area and across the four ASU campuses. Once the light rail service begins, the West and Polytechnic intercampus shuttles will transport riders to the light rail line where they can then board a light rail train bound for the Tempe campus. The Downtown Phoenix intercampus shuttle will be discontinued, as light rail will provide a direct, 20-minute connection between the Tempe and Downtown Phoenix campuses. Boo, the intercampus shuttles are extremely convenient for university business and they are faster and far less of a hassle than the public bus system. As our campuses expand, and if the shuttle program was allowed to mature, ridership would grow exponentially. So next semester is when the downtown shuttle ends. A step backwards. I do not know how great this light rail thing is going to be.
