The difference between commuter rail and light-rail
Although I’m known as the Texas Highway Man, I lived in Germany for several years and, as a result, have extensive experience with and appreciation for public transit. So with recent announcements regarding commuter rail, light-rail, and streetcar projects for San Antonio, I get annoyed (well, maybe that’s too strong a word) that the local media and many denizens keep confusing the terms light-rail and commuter rail. I know that both terms are new buzzwords around here, but folks should understand that light-rail and commuter rail are two completely different types of systems.
