Light rail would be great transit option

Some sort of light rail would be a great idea. I'm sure the reason that most people do not use Trailways buses is because their times are fairly unusable from a work standpoint.
The major thing would be having these light rail or bus systems working closely with Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Waterloo transit, along with extended hours. If there were a rail option from Iowa City to Waterloo and it ran somewhat frequently and later in the evening, I would use it.
The major thing for this to work, of course, would be the marketing to make sure people were aware of it.
