The train passes by an office building where a LOT of people work and also have confirmed eyewitness statements from them that the train has NO passengers day after day. Absolutely blew my mind. The man who told me this KNOWS what is going on and I can't give the source or it would cost him his job. Why won't the media do the correct type of reporting. Why???

Cue up the Casablanca video. Was bill richardson a consultant on the project since the NM rail runner was such an overwhelming success between ABQ and Santa Fe?

So why aren’t citizens of Austin using the train?

[Chode]

the RATS here whined that there is no mass transit in the county

so millions was spent for EMPTY buses yo run all day, it’d be cheaper to give FREE taxi rides than having empty buses.

wait we don’t have taxi’s...

Same thing in San Jose, empty trains...always.
We have a nickname for them...’The shame train’.

You don’t get it. The train SENDS A MESSAGE when it runs (with or without passengers). It says that Austin cares so much about the environment that they’re willing to build a massively expensive train system to GET PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS.

Is it really your their fault that some people just ‘don’t get it’?
