(BTW, these are bought, built, and maintained with your tax dollars) <br /> <br />Or the Air Traffic Control System? (PS: Run by and at the expense of the federal government) <br /> <br />The people making these decisions should be taking all these factors into consideration, along with the enviornmental impact of the different modes, to decide which is best for the given situation. This is not a "one size fits all" type question. <br />[/quote]The amount of money and breaks given the airlines is hardly an excuse to do the same for the railroads, which did get their land given to them. Two wrongs don't make a right. <br />The people making these decisions should not be the government. <br />
