Quick Purple Line update: Montgomery Co. backs light rail

Montgomery County has come out in favor of light rail rather than RTB service for their long-debated Washington-area, suburb-to-suburb connector.

This is a big step toward getting light rail service between Bethesda and New Carrolton, and bloggers have wasted no time speaking up. DCmud and The City Fix have already weighed in.

While it’s not heavy rail like the Dulles extension, it’s at least a start.
