Re: Train was going 80MPH in 30MPH zone

The reason public transit is subsidized by gas prices is because the road system cannot handle everyone driving. Your ability to drive yourself into a city when needed is precisely because large numbers of people are on trains rather than the roads.

I drive through NYC maybe five or six times a year. The ability to do that without spending days in traffic is because of the availability of commuter rail. It is well worth whatever pittance percentage of my annual gas taxes goes to it.
