“It’s not a boondoggle. It’s exactly what it was meant to be. A payoff to local union bosses. Here in CT they’re building a friggin busway for $60 MILLION dollars a mile. All to keep union goons happy.”
We have a light rail extension going in here in CO. $100 million a mile. Light rail operating revenue in 2013, $19 million. Light rail operating expenses in 2013, $180 million. And we’re rated one of the very best transit systems in the country.
How’s that for sustainable transit?
Yeah, when it comes to govt spending money they don’t even consider cost. Just spend.
