Reply to comment by gggg500 in Why does Amtrack service not extend to State College? by vortical42

I wonder if there is any potential for a light rail service if a full fledged Amtrak connection is off the table? Busses have their limits, especially when the roads are already congested by game day to traffic.

State College has one of the most robust bus systems in the state. By ridership it is actually one of the best bus systems in the country. I am a city nerd and once compiled this data and I believe State College was something like #77 in the whole USA by total annual ridership. Though, these figures were all before covid. I have the data saved and can dig it up for you if you are interested.
