Hank, ya'll got your BART. The early investment of the 70's has saved your collective Bay Area butts.

Seattle coulda, shoulda, woulda done it decades ago, but nooooo...

Any investment in mass transportation is better than NO investment. Just the projected growth should tell a person something. Try putting 20% more cars on the current capacity roads and see what you get.

Lack of adequate transportation is in the top 3 reasons companies won't stay/come here. We've allowed rail to fall by the wayside in our country for one reason... to create truck driving jobs after WWII.

DUMB IDEA!

Hankster, just because you don't use it, in that little tiny universe you live in, doesnt mean tens of thousands of Americans don't use AMTRAK every day.
You are really good at telling people what they need.
