Why do you always manage to turn this into a politics thingBecause you can't divorce such things as this from politics. Anyone who thinks they can is suffering from self-delusion; I prefer to stick with reality. let's stick on the topic and the facts, light rail is more cost efficient than heavy rail Again, false. And politics are utterly on-topic for this thread. Why do you think so many American cities and European cities went light rail instead of heavy rail? For the last time, startup costs and street-running—and mainly because heavy-rail proposals would involve building underground segments. With the SIR, no such thing is the case. (And let's not forget political patronage.) |
