Re: Rail Transit
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Are they supporting Panos' view, or did they drivers find a front man?
I'd have to go find my old material, but I've heard arguments about what should be done before rail became a hot topic. I'd have to check and make sure it's Pano. I'm thinking it's a case of the drivers supporting Panos rather then Panos being a paid spokesman for special interests.
You'd have to ask Adrian Archilla and C S Papacostas. Maybe they don't like the limelight. The 3 of them make the sum total of traffic experts I can find on the UH website.
So where are the studies that says this is the best way to solve the traffic problem? Rail only solves the problem for people on the rail line. We can't just turn our back on the roadways and say "rail will solve that". Rail isn't even addressing our economic engine: tourism. At this point I think rail is only going to serve the big special interests. Only peripherally will it address the public interests and certainly isn't interested in the tax payer's interests.
