Doesn't sound like nowhere to me. The Most Expensive Subway Ever Built. Well, next year prices will go up and something new will be the most expensive thing ever. Until the year after that. The other way to look at it might be to say that if we start building it this year it will be cheaper than if we wait to start building it next year.
Buses are cheaper than subways, of course.
Of course, bicycles are cheaper than busses. Maybe we should sell the busses and hand out bicycles. That might work over the hill, but not in The Valley. We're too spread out. Still the Bus Riders Union wants more buses.
