If you build it they will come, change, or ride
NPR has been running a series on train and rail transit that made me think when I heard one of the first programs that this could only be possible under Obama’s leadership. When Bush was president was anyone talking about rail transit? Uh, no.
So they were polling people around the country to see if they would be willing to use the rail or train instead of their car and one woman driving an SUV said no way, I like having my own car.
People, come on, first of all this woman has never been offered serious train and rail options so she doesn’t know and shame on NPR for even using her opinion because its almost inflammatory like saying Americans wouldn’t use train or rail to get from one place to another.
The truth is more than likely that if rail and train services were in abundance, easy to use, and relatively cheap, most everyone would rather hop on a rail than have to park.
