Minneapolis - St. Paul HAD one of the best LRT systems in the country, until crooks dismantled it. Watch "Lost Twin Cities" sometime. --------------Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies. We were rolling drunk on petroleum. - Kurt Vonnegut

Were the construction costs figured in, or is this just the operational cost once the system was built? --------------Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies. We were rolling drunk on petroleum. - Kurt Vonnegut

Rail is cheaper to build and maintain than roads. If you include the cost of building the rail then you would also have to figure in the cost of building roads. --------------The people are masters of both Congress and courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it!
