the lack of sufficient commuter rail and light rail is an enormous macroeconomic problem that the country is struggling with right now, and has been struggling with for years. The lost work hours and wasted capital endured in at least 10-15 large American cities would, if captured, likely represent a non-trivial shift in the nation’s GDP.
Adam Guren where are you when I need you to explain these things to me? I thought a lot of economic research showed that rail was rarely a worthwhile investment viz a viz improving bus lines. Anyone out there have any insight into this?
