[PRCo] Re: So you can't get to Pittsburgh?

[John Swindler]

Why do people persist in believing the reported opinions of politicians?

So how does Buffalo LRT ridership compare with Cleveland's Shaker rapid LRT 
lines?  With New Orleans St. Charles line?

Similarly, how does San Jose light rail ridership compare with Pittsburgh?  
With Baltimore?  With Sacramento?  With Denver?

Just remember Fred - just as I cheat with opinions on history by looking 
through PUC testimony and news articles, I also cheat with opinions on 
transit usage by looking at the federal section 15 reports.
