Will conservatives ever tolerate public transportation? Will there be any time left for the life on Earth when they finally do

We know that the mayor of Honolulu won't bother Even following state laws if it puts a tram anywhere it might cut traffic-. Isn't that the conservative plan in every City?

What [i]is [/i]that about? We've been fighting for years here in Central Florida to institute a sensible and effective rail, trolley or tram system to fight a traffic issue we make worse by the year.

Finally got a compromised attempt. Two cars of a rail system that follows old, pre-existing industrial track...which is close to absolutely nothing. That runs only during the day. And is closed on weekends and holidays.

I didn't know it was also so bad in HI. Everyone in government loves to complain about spending money, but you can't feed a family if you won't pay for groceries.

You seem to be talking about the USA. Other countries provide good public transportation options.

In the US, the decision to kill public transportation is 2-fold.

1. The car/oil/tire industries colluded back in the 1930s, to corruptly kill it in places like Los Angeles.

2. Racism: the suburbs did not want the undesirables to reach out into the suburbs. Example: Silicon valley, Atlanta.

The US is now scrambling to catch up, but it's not an easy task.
