    A Closer Look at Columbus Growth and Rail Transit

    From the CBus Transit Blog:

    Census and Transit

    A few days ago the Census Bureau released some updated figures concerning the population of US cities. While Columbus continued to grow, it was surpassed by Austin, Texas and slipped from being the country’s 15th largest city to the 16th. Columbus remains, however, the largest city in the country without a form of rail transit thanks to the completion of Phoenix’s light rail line. But is there a correlation between our falling rank and our city’s lack of a comprehensive plan for improving our cities transportation opportunities? Perhaps. CBT looked at the five fastest growing cities in the country (by percentage) with populations over 500,000 to analyze their rail transit systems.
