[quote user="henry6"] Bucyrus, that is almost the exact conditions that exist in the Northeast!  NJ can't build anymore roads; the NY Metropolitan area has poor air quality, clogged roads, jammed airports, no place to build more but plenty of underutilized rail ROW's.  Its like that virtually from Portland, ME to Norfolk, VA!  The scenerio is too real.  But more to my other point.  Nothing has ever been accepted by the public which hasn't been "sold" to them through a well planned and executed marketing program.  Everything we encounter, use, abuse, enjoy, rely on, whatever, has been marketed so that we accept what those in charge of whatever, wants us to believe.  Look at the hell being raised right now with the new concepts of *** cancer screening...after years of marketing one idea, now another has popped up and has to be marketed until settled.  We were told about our cars and the highways as the way to be free, be able to travel at will, to be American.  But now that concept has to be changed and remarketed.  To make a change or promote someting new or different, you've got to market and sell, market and sell, market and sell.  Until the next change comes along. [/quote] In your outline of the problem scenario, what makes you think that people will just switch to rail just because it is offered as an alternative?  Highways and cars were welcomed as a wonderful alternative to being tied to schedules of transit with its limited range of routing.  Why would people change their mind unless you outlaw cars?   As I said before, I think you have the cart and horse mixed up with your belief that human behavior is lead and controlled by marketing.  Maybe you are a marketing guy and therefore believe that.  If it were true, why don’t they just market that we all live in peace and prosperity?
