No Fed Funds for BART to San Jose 

New federal standards make it unlikely that the proposed BART extension to San Jose will ever be part of a Bush administration budget -- a critical blow to a project that was already struggling to find funding.

Federal officials have long worried that the extension will not carry enough riders to justify its $4.2 billion cost, and now they are planning to measure it against a new cost-effectiveness standard it cannot possibly meet.

Is their any way to help the Seattle Monorail, Light Rail, Waterfront StreetCar and Trolley (Whew! we have it all up here) suffer the same fate?
