The question is, why can't we specify that all transit systems be integrated. Federal funds would not go to a light rail that didn't interface with local and intercity bus, Amtrak, commuter lines, and airlines?  ....   </blockquote> Ditto! [/quote] During the 1920s, if I remember correctly, the PRR, as well as the Southern Pacific, amongst others, attempted to operate buses and trucks to complement their rail services.  The PRR attempted to operate an air service, and the SP attempted to get into the pipeline business.  Unfortunately, the ICC, for good reasons, prohibited them from doing so. There is some intergration of public transport in the United States.  In Fort Worth, for example, Greyhound, Amtrak, and the Trinity Railway Express all call at the Intermodal Transportation Center in Fort Worth.  Here it is also possible to rent a car.  Also, several cities have implemented rail service to their airports (Washington, D.C., Cleveland, San Francisco, NYC) or they are developing the capabilities to do so (Dallas, Fort Worth, Miami).
