Rail is dumb, rail is costly. It will be a cold day in hell before MetroRail takes off. How much bus service do we want to lose for a fancy pancy train? How many buses can one rail car buy? Try at least 8. Rail is ugly, costly, slow, and outdated. If people wanted rails so much than why was the streetcar eliminated after World War II? All this is is some transit agency (probally Capitol Metro) to pocket federal funding and federal funding for rail pays more so that is why many cities are doing this pork barrel of a project. I want to see as many people as possible to tell the City NO MORE RAIL NO MORE WASTEFUL SPENDING, BUSES NOT TRAINS, NIM BRAIN these deanbags don't get it do they?
