Some things do get stuck, Willie. Looks like a liplock to me, like your love of statist boondoggles.

When USC professor and transportation expert James Moore heard the findings several days ago that the $9 billion Subway to the Sea won't relieve congestion on the Westside, as vowed by Antonio Villaraigosa, Moore was among a number of transportation insiders who wasn't stunned.
"I didn't need an Environmental Impact Report to know that," says Moore, iconoclastic director of transportation engineering at USC, referring to an environmental study by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Moore says the truth about how Metro plans to use up to $9 billion in sales taxes being paid by 8 million consumers in Los Angeles County is: "We're not building [a subway] to ease congestion. We're doing it for political reasons."...........

If they were popular, they would at the station have gridlock, but they are not popular, so they never suffer from over use, like the immensely popular roads do.
He said they were ordered to do it according to plans and specs.
Private buses leasing private ROW eliminate connections, and are not as subject to the inevitable breakdown, strike, or act of tyranny.
But then, you know all about tyranny, don't you Wille? There isn't a single big-budget proposal you have ever made here that isn't subject to centralized command and control.
Cars equipped with collision avoidance on intelligent freeways will soon carry far more passengers per hour than any rail system you can conjure, even beyond your usual pack of lies.
LOL. I think I would want rubber bumpers on those. Might even make them more fun.
WooHoo!
Aerial bumper cars!
