So, they “depend upon” public transportation - as in, there is already a service available to them!

Which is subject to service cutbacks.
public transit riders brace for a rough ride

More importantly, you did not defend your assertion that passenger rail service in and of itself promotes commerce. Many of those same low-income, urban Americans can walk two blocks (or less) to get their food, to their jobs, etc...

I consider it a higher priority to confront ignorance and bigotry head-on.
It's totally ludicrous to assume that urban Americans can all find jobs within a mere two-blocks of home.

“I consider it a higher priority to confront ignorance and bigotry head-on.”

So, what in my statement is ignorant? Are there not people working close to home in MANY of the urban areas of America? And lord knows, we should all demand that we install a train to every company in America to ensure, just in case ONE urban American wants to ride to work there, may do so! THAT is ignorance!

Willie, you continue to expand your house of cards to develop a meme as if passenger rail cars are the only way for Americans to get to work or to eat. You want to talk about ignorance!

And exactly what is bigoted about ANY of my statements?
