That's great news. <br /> <br />Austin and I-35 are getting so congested. I was stuck in traffic there recently during the middle of the day. <br /> <br />I-35 came to a screeching halt. There are so many trucks clogging that highway. <br /> <br />That area has long needed rail. The population stats and density support improving rail service. <br /> <br />Look at how successful the Bakersfield - Bay area trains are. Fresno and BAK are comparatively small towns. <br /> <br />Such a rail system would work well from San Antonio to Austin and its growng northern suburbs, as well as routes to HOU and Dallas, since Texas is second only to California in population. <br /> <br />Oops. Wait a minute. Those right-wing idiots such as Wendall Cox and FORMER Sen. Phil Gramm and Sen. John McCain would tell me people prefer their UNSUBSIDIZED (right...) cars to SOCIALISTIC mass transit. <br /> <br />Well, we all don't have our private GOVERNMENT-FUNDED private planes and first class treatment those big-wigs get.
