Reply #7: want mass transit rail badly!!! [View All]

the biggest key about rail is that it saves space and encourages density. this saves environmental space, which can be used for a greater range of reasons instead of wasted on roads.

just looking at the cars on the freeway i see around 70% of the cars commuting here have 1 person per car. that's atrocious. that's a waste in space, gas, time, etc. wish there was a more efficient way? there is and it's rail. as much as i love the idea of fuel cell cars it isn't gonna save space like rail will.

imagine less parkinglots, more homes, less roads, more parks, less ugly asphalt and smog, more open spaces and higher home values. after being to europe, and enjoying a good motorcycle, i still have to say this issue is as good as solved. have rail for everyday commuting and the system we have now can stay as it is for the joy of riding. there is already a better way and we are just wasting precious time that's running out on us.
