Dont want this bondoogle rail system. Common sense says buses are better then trains as far as price and freedom of movement. Freedom of movement meaning that if a road or area is affected by something buses can drive somewhere else. Rails are not moveable. Ridership Is pathetic across the entire system. The trains use gas taxes which are short and need to provide for existing projects not new bondoogles.
