[quote user="schlimm"] There are many reasons why the 2010's are different from the 1960's besides 50 years difference.  Subsidizing commuter rail for all, the daily rider or more casual user, is far cheaper than constructing many more lane of expressways.  Every time when commuter fares were raised in the past by the private lines (CNW, IC, BN, MILW, RI, etc.) and by Metra now, many riders opted to put up with long auto commutes because the fare increase broke their budgets.  sam1 seems to think only in terms of the immediate, obvious costs one can find in a financial statement.  The issue is not that simplistic. [/quote] I am only talking about requiring those who use commuter rail to pay the note for the tote.  For those people who must use commuter rail and cannot afford to pay for it, subsidies may be in order.  As noted, they could be subsidized easily without anyone being the wiser. Asking people who can afford the ride to pay for it, with subsidies for those who cannot afford it, does not bespeak of building more highways.
