- Could you define what you mean by a ``decent transit system''?
-
- If you believe Metro's propaganda, we already have an ``award-winning''
- transit system. I don't know what sort of award -- possibly the ``best reason
- for using private transportation'' award? ;-)

- I'd love to see a rail network, but I think they'll be buying space heaters in
- hell before we see a useful rail network in Seattle. It's hard to dig a
- subway here, and the NIMBYs would make sure that only toy lines such as the
- waterfront trolley or the monorail ever get built (who else besides tourists
- use either???).
