Re:Re: (erielack) NJ/PA - Environmental Assessment for Lacka

Real bottom line?  Nobody, but NOBODY, make money hauling people.  Never have; don't now; never will.  ALL forms of passenger transportation require subsidy: air, sea, highway, rail -- even your own private automobile, for which you are paying even as you sit and read this.

Passenger transport is a necessity, a social service, which MUST happen.  So, many countries simply suck it up and deal with it.

Bottom line highway traffic will always be inefficent. Rail is always better, provided you can fill the cars. You can move many times the number of bodies on rail vs highway for a fraction of the energy cost and congestion.
