| In Large Cities If Half The Money Spent Accomodating Cars Were Instead Spent On Mass Transit The Cities Would Be Much Better Off |
| Think about all the infrastructure to accomodate cars - roads, bridges, parking - and how much of it gets resurfaced or rebuilt regularly, and all the policing and emergency vehicles and traffic monitoring. If subways and trains were even half as funded they'd have an amazing transit system reaching even more corners and paying off long term. I'm not talking about replacing or eliminating vehicles, and I'm not saying smaller communities could do the same, I'm talking more about funding priorities. Hey if Boston's Big Dig had been subways we'd have chandelliers on trains now |

I wanted to initially disagree but hey it sounds great. Keep the roads and all. We need them for
military if needed and for shipping via 18 wheeler etc. I think maintaining and fees for trips on
metro's etc cost about the same though. The difference is you don't run on the tram's schedule and
you drive on your schedule with your stereo system and trunk for materials. |
