Trains and bus systems and even the old trolley car systems were put out of business by the use of automobiles. How do the green rats expect to make it work now?

Strip money from road building, let roads deteriorate, build trains, control the car companies, force people into the cities.

Standardize the pylons (tubes)by government fiat and give away the right of way along the highway and let private enterprise build it and run it.

If you think about it that makes it much like the airlines. The gov sets the air corridors and private enterprise built the rest.

I'm not saying that it necessarily would work but it's got a shot at replacing short haul air and won't cost the taxpayer a Penney.
