A new round in the emerging war between lanes (cars) versus trains.
Indianapolis mayor Bart Peterson told the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission recently that mass transit has been underfunded compared with road construction.
Peterson is also president of the National League of Cities. His city of Indianapolis is studying a light rail line, but needs funding for it. The gasoline tax of just 18.3 cents a gallon has not risen since 1993, sure to be a sore point all around. The war will get vicious. Lots at stake. The eventual winner of course will be trains. Time to fight for the 21st century.
This concludes our whole week of posts on the latest news about trains. Pretty exciting.
