Whites need not apply, I am told.
I live in Houston, where nobody rides the light rail we already have.
This is a waste of taxpayers money similar to the $7,500 tax credit being given to drive the new Chevy Volt, a $41,000 electric car that has a battery range of a whopping 40 miles!!
Wow! More than 500 people a day! I think you do better when you post some train nonsense and then run away. It is better than putting a ridiculous stat in to prove your non-point.

Actually, Houston MetroRail's average daily ridership is closer to 40K, which emphasizes my point more dramatically than I thought.
And yet, still, the collective IQ is lower.
The NEW METRO is just the not-so-old Metro enlarging its bloated and useless empire so as to piss away more tax money.
They neglected to mention that Metro plans to RAISE BUS FARES to pay for this boondoggle.
This system has grown like a malignant cancer here in Houston. First the busses (largely empty), then the toy train that’s destroyed businesses and had over 100 wrecks, now additional toy trains to destroy more businesses and have more wrecks. They are virtually worthless in Houston and heavily steal from all to subsidize a very few.
And it’s being paid for here out of sales tax dollars ! For something NONE of us need and FEW of us use. (Metro has its own 1% sales tax).
We desperately need to elect a conservative mayor and end the socialist wet dream. Pull Metro out of the public trough.
No!!!...tell me that is a joke. I didn't think even Gore was that stupid!!!
There is such a train and it made the rounds back in the day as fact.
At least Metro is FINALLY considering paid advertising inside and outside the bus like you’ll find in every other town.
There are some strict antibillboard forces in this town who must be behind the “keep Houston’s public transportation ad free” movement.
I think when Hurricane Ike blew through, there were even a number of billboards that were not allowed to be rebuilt because of such people.
Willie, you are going to need some serious documentation to back that whopper up.
Do you have some affidavits from Larry Sinclair and the choir boys at Rev. Wright's house of Anti-American worship?
Seeing as that's about 1 busload, big effing deal. And only a true socialist could call Obummer "financially pragmatic".
Willie, that's a rather obvious lie. Where are the 40,000 PARKING to ride the toy train for a couple miles ? Downtown ? At the medical center ? Damn, I must have missed all those parked cars.
The toy train shills regularly distort their "ridership" figures with "trips", etc., instead of counting ACTUAL PEOPLE who ride the toy train. That way they can count the same passenger multiple times, and make the worthless system appear useful and important.
I can believe it.
“Kudos to Obama for being more financially pragmatic than JFK.”
Willie, one word to describe you. STUPID
Because I won’t genuflect and flagellate to JFK’s legacy???
