Had some friends up PJ a couple weeks back, think they paid over 100 bucks to take the car across the water iirc, said if they left OP, would have been about 150 iirc... |

It sure beat driving "the long way" around. |

So, the world of public transportation should revolve around a retiree's needs in Dumfoch, Florida? The world of transportation has to take into account the needs of the public in general. 2/3ds of Floridians said they did not want to spend close to a trillion dollars on a train they would never ride. One particular train between two particular places. A place where retirees idea of going on a trip is to get in the golf cart and go to the rec room for Bingo. |

They may not have a suitable interstate going into the city and that real estate tends to be curb to curb traffic lane. Elevating a high speed train? That is just funny. Cost, additional danger in a derailment, more noise. I do like your sense of humor tho. All it would take is a train popping off a track and taking out a whole row of bumper to bumper commuters in cars on that interstate below to sink rail in this country for years. I wonder why the monorail concept never took off? It did, go to Disneyland and ride it any time you want. It is a slow theme park ride, not good for much else. Oh, hell.... Is that what you think the limit of a monorail is??? |

The roads are fine... the bridges are fine.... Your ignorance is no substitute for reality, little man. Florida rates the best on the number of deficient bridges (2.2%). Pennsylvania is the worst with a quarter of their bridges failing. http://t4america.org/resources/bridges/ Maryland is #40 BTW But Jawbone Scotty said it's not happening!!! |
