Commuter Rail

Staff Pick

It won’t be long before commuters from Summerville will be making that long journey on a short train ride. That’s right, commuter rail is coming to Charleston … oh, who the hell are we kidding. Local municipalities have supported the project — Mayor Joe Riley went so far as to include a mention of the dream of commuter rail in his State of the City address last month. Yet, when we die of old age, our grandkids will still be sitting in interstate traffic somewhere near Ashley Phosphate.
