Ted, > Sacramento which is slightly bigger is just now building its first light rail. Subway? LOL. Commuter rail? They are starting to treat their Amtrak service in that fashion. Even LA, which is 5-6 times bigger than Stockholm has only one subway line, 4 light rail and two commuter trains.......all built in the last 15 years.

a) The Democrats have been in control of California for the past ten years.

b) Sacramento is a dump. 'Nuff said.

c) Senor Villaragosa is talking about plans to greatly expand Los Angeles' mass transit system, including a "subway to the sea."

d) What does Seattle have for mass transit? Oh yeah, those weird tunnels for buses. And a useless, rickety monorail. And I don't remember any mass transit options between Bellvue and Seattle, or Tacoma and Seattle. What's going on Ted?

"Europeans, when it comes to mass transit, are so much further ahead of the US, and yet, your fellow Republicans refuse to see the progress they have made. Why?"

Why does everything in your tiny mind always boil down to being a partisan issue?

I'm in NYC for the weekend and the subway is really a great service here.

But it just doesn't work in all places, as when you're in a more spread out place people will pay a lot (in gas cost) to have the freedom of their owntransportation.

Driving in NYC makes no sense anyway, since you can get where you're going faster on the subway. I imagine that, and the inability to find parking, is the most important factor in many places like this.
