When considering this debate about heavy use it might be helpful to look at other industries and how the car is used. <br /> <br />Is air travel, from a business prespective, an example of heavy passenger useage? How many airlines have filed for brankruptcy? <br /> <br />How many car trips are of the "to the corner store and back" variety? Where commuter rail is in place is the ridership growing or decreasing? <br /> <br />If people paid the true cost of driving, including the current costs of getting oil to North America: the true environmental and health care costs of cars, then rail travel would be cost competitive.
