But a good start would be moving freight off of our highways and back onto our rail roads. Oh, that old chestnut. Dream on.

Yes, but it's a pity that Jobst said this: "In most of Europe most large cities have no more car traffic in town" Which is utter nonsense and suggests he's never been in a large European city in his life. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F & SH50 Triumph Street Triple GHPOTHUF#1 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing is more dangerous than an ignoramus with a workshop manual, a 'can-do' attitude and a cheap set of tools |

Well, Jobst cycles the Alps every summer. And there aren't any large cities in the Alps. Salzburg comes to mind, but that's it. And that isn't a big city, really. Seriously, to say there's no car traffic in big European cities is the purest ********. There may be less, in some, because of things like London's Congestion Charge (a form of inner city road pricing), and some town centres are not wildly residential anyway (The City of London is a classic example), but that's about it. However, as he says, European public transport is, by and large, very good indeed, especially in the big cities. And I certainly don't take my car into Central London. I take my bike. Which is where we came in ;-) -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F & SH50 Triumph Street Triple GHPOTHUF#1 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing is more dangerous than an ignoramus with a workshop manual, a 'can-do' attitude and a cheap set of tools |

MASS TRANSIT IS SO SLOW THAT PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD THE WASTE OF THEIR TIME TO USE IT. =v= For years we have asked Jack May to support his assertions. So far, he's posted a few links that haven't supported a thing (one even contradicted what he said). So it's no wonder that he's had to resort to shouting. PUBLIC TRANSIT IS ONLY PUSHED BY TOTAL MORONS THAT HAVE NO CLUE OF WHAT PEOPLE DEMAND FOR THEIR LIVES IN THIS SOCIETY Like people who shout at strangers? =v= A cager living life inside a little compartment naturally needs to shout so people can hear him through the safety glass. _Jym_ |
