Seriously, we are looking at trillions of dollars in highway and road infrastructure improvements and expansion. Wouldn’t we be far better off spending that money on a forward thinking system. One that isn’t mostly consumable, and in constant need of repair/replacement, and that addresses a myriad of issues in one fell swoop?

In a personal and connected hybrid system of transiting, we could do this, and keep our cars, too.

Even better: Tax breaks for companies who promote working from home. You would need less roads, less cars and less fuel and terrorism becomes much more difficult with less people out in public. Your earnings go farther if you don't have all of the added costs of working in an office (clothes, etc), not to mention all the the time you would get back by not commuting.

Agreed. As long as it’s not permanent and there are no loopholes in it.

Point is, let’s take our heads out of the sand, and get creative. Take the thoughts of profit out of the design and decision making process, and move our Country forward. There’ll be plenty of time and opportunity to make money from whatever we decide. But we have to move past the stone age.
