Now Indianapolis Wants a Train
The Indianapolis Regional Transportation Council has voted to study a rail line in the region's most congested corridor. It sounds like the "study" will be based on the usual faith-based transportation planning.
"We have to accept that mass transit is the way to travel," says a suburban mayor. How about accepting that people won't use mass transit for more than 2 or 3 percent of their travel even if you gold plate it? Once we accept that, we can plan some cost-effective transit measures and then get to the real work of curing congestion for the other 97 to 98 percent of travel.
