thread_title:  Regional Rail Essentially Dead? 

message: Cost of mass transit relative to other means of transportation seems to be missing from the equation of the its value to the community. An informal analysis of TTA (which was moving strongly toward light rail as well) which I did several years ago showed cost per bus ride of $50! What is the actual cost of private vehicular transportation by comparison? We will never know unless someone looks at the whole transportation system as an interrelated system with a strong emphasis on cost/benefit ratio. If as much energy and money were directed toward existing transportation as to new forms, I think our money would be used much more efficiently.
For example, in 2005 TTA fare receipts were $1.5M, and the expenses related just to the Board of Directors was $1M. (TTA) --Tobyw 12:38, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think anyone would argue that ticket fares don't cover the cost of public transportation.  Your obtuse comparison of TTA fare receipts (ticket sales) vs. Board of Directors expenses indeed does reinforce the call for an objective cost benefit analysis of public transportation.

message: From a lecture in college years ago, I remember a visiting academic claiming that the name "Clew"  probably derives from an old map that stated that the bay has CCCLV (355) islands, which someone later read as a word.

Wikiquote might be a more appropriate place for a list of quotations such as these, and can be linked to from the article.

I do recommend against simply reverting my edit and reproducing the 'Quotes' section in full, though--besides being a pretty clear failure to abide by our non-free content criteria, they don't really add anything to the article as lone quotations, out of context.
