Run-roh! Leftists aren’t going to like this! Didn’t Obama want to make us a railway dependent nation, like Europe? He never considered the massive size of our country. The Teleprompter pResident never was very good at thinking through ideas.
I’m sure that is one of the biggest differences between California and New York. The number riding daily in SF is about 10 percent of the number in NYC. Half a mil vs 5.5 mil.

Back in the early 60s the DoD, USPHS ran an experiment in the NYC subways. They tossed lightbulbs filled with bacillus subtitles to the tracks as trains came into the station.

Someone should have been thinking about this study six weeks ago.
