Compare that to the public-money boondoggles of today.

The worst is the private chauffeur services that the liberals have enacted for the elderly and disabled. I have no problems with designing public transit systems so that they are accessible by people who need special consideration. But it should still remain economical mass-transit for large numbers of passengers. Not personalized door-to-door service for a few.

Which is better: to spend really huge oodles of money equipping all buses with wheelchair ramps which take up space and are such a slow enough to use that on the occasions when disabled person needs to use one it delays everyone, or to spend somewhat less money on a secondary system which provides better service to the disabled without delaying the transit of non-disabled riders?
