That's an excellent point Craven. If the railways are not designed appropriately for traffic flow, they won't be utilized and the system will fail. The transportation system WOULD need to at least break even if not generating a little money for the government. It needs to be easy and convenient and FAST.
Aside: I personally love public transportation. If I could sell my car and rely on public transportation to get me anywhere I needed to go, I'd be 100% willing to do so. I lived in Madrid for awhile and the metro/Eurail (sp?) got me everywhere and it was awesome. No car payment, no insurance, no worries about parking, gas or drunk driving.
Ideally this would be a solid investment to offset the numerous bailouts, wars, etc. that are putting us so far into national debt that we may never be able to climb back out.
