Mass Transit Coming to Noblesville

From the Noblesville Ledger about IndyGo extending bus service north.

Rapid development on the north side is driving the need for a commuter bus service from Lawrence and Hamilton County to downtown Indianapolis, which IndyGo officials are hopeful will start this year. The only holdup is funding.

I have not seen similar reports from anywhere else. First, it seems that mass transit is coming regardless of what some might think. Second. the only viable form of mass transit for us in Madison County and beyond is light rail - how much longer must we wait? Third, how does this affect the congestion around I-69 and I-465 that prompted the Governor's Interstate Commerce Connector?
