 First congrats on a great site.
I live in Orange Park and own a business in downtown jax so the commute is important to me.  I certainly have no expertise in mass transit (just one of those amateurs who doesn't understand the politics involved).  I have no interest in the politics of the JTA but I have ridden commuter trains and buses and I prefer the trains.  I linked to your video and web site in my blog. Well I am going to explore the site.

Welcome to the site.  Unfortunately for Orange Park residents BRT will only extend to 103rd Street in 2025, so there will be no alternative for Blanding and Roosevelt in the next few decades, if rail doesn't become a higher priority.  By the way, what's the name of your blog?

 Well I am hoping for rail. Blanding and Roosevelt are rough during rush hour but I love Jax. My Blog is called Jeffreyveiw it is new I am not sure what the focus will be. The blog is located on my MySpace page. If anyone is interested the url is myspace.com/jeffreyview (http://myspace.com/jeffreyview) .
