Biased numbers I can get. I'm curious as to what the fair numbers are.
Orthogonally: I remember, some years ago, looking at the numbers for retrofit modifications to busses and subways in NYC, and realizing that the supposed extremists who were claiming that it would be cheaper for the city to simply give unlimited cab service to the disabled were, in fact, correct.
I like the *idea* of good, inexpensive, public transportation, and I think that it's a reasonable thing to spend some tax dollars on. But I really would like to know what we're buying, and how much it's costing.
