Keep in mind that vast parts of the country are agricultural areas with very primitive infrastructure.EngineerScottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005863528905991434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-74342399756915426542009-12-15T06:35:01.761-08:002009-12-15T06:35:01.761-08:00Cities in this area not joining up with any transi...Cities in this area not joining up with any transit agency then complaining about not having rail service is a huge problem. Here in Fort Worth, almost no other city besides Fort Worth itself is a member of The T, which means there's little money available for much beyond maintaining their sub-par bus service. Even Arlington won't join, let along Southlake, etc. Virtually every Fort Worth suburb, almost without exception, is of the "transit just means more poor people and minorities and that's awful" mindset, yet several wouldn't mind a free lunch when it comes to getting a rail station in their town.Kevin Buchananhttp://fortworthology.comnoreply@blogger.com
