"Much of the operating cost savings of CBTC amounts to transferringoperating budget to capital budget, which, guess what, eventually comes back into the operating budget as debt service!" So does ordering replacement relays at $60 million per room. Stephen Baumann did a great job of answering your mostly bogus objections. Much better than I would have, and I tip my hat to him (and his talent for elegant explanation of physical phenomena is once again in evidence). "CBTC will eventually work, but right now first base (being able to reliably measure train speed and position) is still 90 feet away. " Only to somebody like you who puts cardboard covers over your lenses. It's not the TA's responsibility to tell you to open your eyes (and your mind) and look at what CBTC actually does. You are responsible for your own education. |
