DONALD D ; Hello this is the Light rail talk show. Im the Host Dr. Donald. today we have DR. Bob, a professor of urban design, who disapproves of light rail. Also we have Professer lilly, who has spent 10 years researching light rail and transportaion. She aproves light rail. We are debating about Light rail as a possible solution to the problem of gas prices going up. We need a cheaper way of getting around. Before we start talking about light rail, let's tell you what it is. Light rail is a train that is designed to go faster than other trains or cars. It runs on electricity, travels around big cities, and carries people rather than cargo. First, here's Dr. Bob with some of the cons about light rail.

Dr. Bob:The averge person will pay over 200 dollars every year in light rail. Light rail cost about from 500,000 to 800,000,000 dollars WOW and about 3 thirds of that is taxes payers. Also transportaion workers estimate that over 45 years it would cost over 107.3 billion dollars plus 15.7 billion dollars. Light rail is also bad because it takes energy away from the Earth.

LILLY ; It does take enregy away from the earth but it does not pollute air.

Bob; light rail raises taxes because people who do not ride have to pay threw taxes.

DONALD D; Lilly thinks you should ride light rail over a car or a byicle, and Bob thinks bycilcle because it costs less and it does not pollute the air.

LILLY: It goes further and faster then other trains and it rides smoother then cars. well theres a better chances you would crash in a car than you would crash when you are riding on Light rail.

BOB; Yes but it still uses electricity.

DONALD D; Would travle be easer with out light rail DR Bob.

DR BOB; oh yahh.
