Buy a vowel and get a clue John...
New York has a subway that gets you (at most) within a block or two of where you need to go... I used to work a job where I rode lightrail to and from work... It was AWESOME!!!! I parked my car at a station, hopped on an electric train and got to read and relax for 30 minutes before and after work. My stress levels decreased because I didn't have to deal with gridlocked traffic. I got to relax and enjoy the ride... And from the train, I walked a half a block to and from work.
Go to Europe, the rails all over Europe are impressive and effecient and clean and loved by the people. The only thing stopping that in the USA is ignorant people like you. I would love to be able to hop on a high speed train and go from California to NY overnight... I could sleep, read, visit a bar car, watch a movie, breath fresh air and not have to deal with Airports, TSA, stale acidic airplane air, cramped seats, air pressure changes, etc. I would love to be able to traverse a city via rail and do my christmas shopping and not have to deal with insane mall parking lots. I would love the advantages that those trains would inpart on shipping things around the country. Mail, freight, cargo, could all hitch rides along with the people and everyone wins...
The only things stopping this is ignorance... So please John, take a trip to Europe and ride a train and see it in action before you utter another word of your ignorance, buy a vowel and get a clue dude... Or do you think Americans are not as competent as Europeans?
Europe figured it out a long time ago, the answer to ending transportaion problems IS rail.
