Re: Rail Transit
With the mention of private buses and also private rail cars in the course of this thread, I lost track. I just knew you were more pro car. I retract my statements though I still don't think the whole upscale public transit will work very well. It's just too much of a logistical nightmare. I think to get people out of cars, just keep watching the gas prices climb. Public transit needs to be kept as simplistic as possible. Anything like a reservations systems runs counter to high frequency, fast service, and reliability. I would look more into providing comfortable seating, wifi, flatscreen tvs for news to entice riders.
You need to compare the entire road system because the gripe about the cost of rail isn't fair when rail has to be built from scratch. I compare the entire road system because imagine the cost to build that from scratch in today's dollars.
