[quote user="henry6"] Actually Bluestreak states an understanding of the US problems in addressing transportation needs very well.  We've got to put aside all concepts, precepts, history, "this is the way we've alway's done it"'s, how much is it gonna cost, who's gonna pay for its, etc. and say "what do we need, how does it work, what do we have to plan.    It like the couple who wants to get married but is waiting until it is financially wise, etc.  If you keep waiting, it will probably never happen but if you do it, you'll find a way to make it work.  That is the way the US has to approach the issues of integrated, intermodal, transportation at this time.  Find out what is needed, figure out the mechanics and logistics.  Then ascertain and assign fiscal need appropriately as can be achieved. [/quote] What's needed?  The best way to make that determination is through markets where people have choices.  Not bureaucrats in Washington and Austin deciding.   What's needed?  Just try to get consensus in a focus group.  Or here is the analogy that I like.  Put two transportation economists in a room and in a half hour you will have three different opinions on how to move forward with a transportation issue.
