But then where would that go? Where are people going? If you have it along one long street say Sunshine are you willing to build a huge park-n-ride next to the Sam’s Club and close at least one lane along all of Sunshine so that someone from Nixa can drive up, park, and then pay cash to get the last couple miles to Bass Pro.how much would you pay for that ride?

Everybody wants to get to their work which is why good public transit goes from population center to work center and back. A light rail from Nixa to the medical mile to MSU/downtown to government plaza might work alright, but if you’re not interested in any of those places you still need to jump on the bus or your bike. In Springfield I usually choose my bike as Ozarks Greenways has made this place one of the better bike commuting places I’ve lived.

If it’s such a obvious simple solution please tell me where you would have it go and both primary and secondary stops.

I’ve lived places with great public transit and would love to have it here, but the layout around here doesn’t make a good argument for it. I should also add that I would happily pay more tax to make it happen. Public transit always looks easy from the outside and the bus system here isn’t really that bad, not great but alright.
