Re: Drive-by commenting (4.00 / 4)

Its when the transport tasks and the politics get tangled up that we get to the cross your fingers and hope stage.

I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.

i'm hoping for the altamont route (4.00 / 3)

as it would bring it closer to sacramento, and thus within a hop, skip and a jump from where i am. ther southern route will leave the capital region out of the loop awaiting a "to be built later" spur line.

Well, I don't live in Sacramento ... (none / 1)

... and I agree ... both for how the layout works regionally and for how the layout works for inter-regional connections.
