Waiting on the Blue Line

RECEIVED Thu., May 23, 2024

Dear Editor,
    Regarding the expansion of AUS ["Can the Austin Airport Speed Up Its Sorely Needed Expansion?" News, May 24:]
    Years ago when the Austin Metro (commuter train) system was being considered, I sent a suggestion to the planners, saying great idea, be sure to include a route to ABIA from Downtown Austin in order to take some of the congestion away from car traffic. In the article was the mention that flight attendants have a commute problem due to the current congestion.
    AND, I have not heard of a time frame for the Austin Blue Line to be built going to ABIA. At least the Blue Line is planned, but it needs to be moved up on the priority list.
