So, instead of putting in some form of public transportation and having it pay for itself, we build a bigger road (with tax dollars) and increase the price during rush hour. I'm fairly certain the tolls will be operated by a foreign company with Houston receiving a portion of the collected tolls. Anyway, is it just me or does anyone else think this is retarded? I think it will turn out to be a complete failure with no one using the toll lanes during rush hour, making the construction unnecessary as the traffic will be the same. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
