Jon: "GM andsome of the oil companies ripped out the perfectly
functioning mass-transit light rail system in Los Angeles........."
NOT QUITE TRUE.........I grew up in the area and rode those
smelly, noisy, (PE = Pacific Electric) streetcars. Yes, by
transferring - you could ride all they way from Venice to Azusa.
However, the system was very slow and like many "r-t systems"
underutilized. The mistake was not in doing away with the
streetcars - it was the giving up of the "rights of way" IMHO.
These were later repurchased at substantially higher prices to
build the freeway system(s).
Best,
Don
