- House passes $15 billion bill for Amtrak funding.
- New and improved Amtrak Coast Starlight beats major airlines in schedule reliability.
- Shocking. Conservative think-tank Heritage Foundation doesn’t like Amtrak subsidies, prefers oil subsidies.
- Wait, the ghettoized lowest-common denominator bus based mass transit systems in the U.S. can’t handle the surge of new car culture refugees? Really? Wait. Really?
- People in America’s heartland finding out that with rising gas prices making them forgo meat and church donations for gas money, the no-alternatives freedom of car culture is actually quite binding.
- There was a time where there was mass transit and pedestrian congestion in a lively and active downtown Los Angeles. Yuck!
