This would add road revenues which could then be partially reinvested to further improve the service. <br /> <br />They can't have it all at once. But they can take a lesson from model railroaders: an hour at a time will build it over a long enough time span! <br /> <br />The last time I rode long distance (Metropark in New Jersey to Williamsburg, Virginia) the trip took thirteen minutes less than the time it takes to drive the same trip. The cost was 100% more than by auto. Just my humble thoughts.
