True! With all the environmental focus in the last decade, it would be prudent for them to hype this up and play that card in hopes of getting more people on board.

But yeah, that really sucks about the fares being so ridiculously overpriced!

And yes, our infrastructure is aging itself in scary ways. The last huge investment in our infrastructure development was with FDR in the 30's and 40's. Scary, scary! (ok, maybe not really- but have we really truly invested in major infrastructure work in the last 30 years??)
