“now that building management realizes they won’t go bankrupt.”

So his building should pay for his fuel?

hey, can we get a free gas station in our parking lot?

No, the whole trip did NOT cost $62. The trip cost HIM $62, because taxpayers who fund Amtrack subsidies paid the remainder of the cost he benefited from.

$62 from him and $75 from taxpayers is more likely the true cost of his trip.

I got to Union Station a little after 4:30 p.m. and returned to the i-MiEV in the $6-a-day underground parking garage. So the whole trip cost $62.

How much did it cost the taxpayer?

There were four spaces in the garage for electric vehicles. Two had inductive paddle chargers just in case anyone came by with an EV1 and two had those older RAV4 EV conductive chargers, neither one of which did me any good. Why they didn't have a simple 120-volt plug is beyond me. Heck, why not a simple 240-volt 20-amp plug?

It's a taxpayer subsidized project. Does he really have to ask?

Some times its best to leave it parked on the show room floor.

Well, all is good on planet Starbucks. But for those that don’t live on the train line and type crap for a living, reality intrudes.

Big whoop.

Apparently he's unaware there are many folks who are lucky to take home $62 a day after taxes in this country.

Great. Not only am I subsidizing this a**holes trip on the train I'm paying for him to charge is electric Obamamobile, too.

You're quite the thief Willie.

This particular route is one I take, but that’s more a function of failure to expand the highway capacity much in the last several decades. Anyone can make the train option seem more attractive by letting the otherwise-more-desirable car route fall into disrepair.

So the TAXPAYERS are subsizing electric charging at the station, and his LANDLORD is paying for it the home.

This idiot doesn’t get it, does he?

Gas imports from the ME should be banned. Gas from Alaska should be used in such a way that we ensure that we never have to depend on any Middle Eastern or Venezualan idiot for any % of American fuel. We of course need petrol for plastics, etc. etc, so care should be taken for these.
