<p>Whichever way you look at it, you cannot have a functioning, state-of-the art passenger rail network at no cost to society, same as you cannot have a highway network or a network of airlines and airports. Someone has to pick up the tab for it. Which tab is being picked up and paid is part of the democratic process, hopefully not only based on short-term financial issues, but on long-term necessities also based on environmental perspectives. </p> <p>With gas prices as low as they still are in the US, I am afraid that decisions are based on near-sighted "economics", leaving the better part of the bill to be paid by future generations.</p>
