Because it makes the roads semi-usable at rush hour? Right now my treasured Route 422 is basically a joke between 7:30 and 9am, and between 4:30 and 6 pm. They have so far failed to put a regional rail route out my way. I would pay to take cars off this road.
But then again, the regional rail they wanted to build was so damn expensive. This is the part that I just don't get. It's just goddamn rails and the rails are already there, even, but they wanted like 2 billion dollars to do it. Really? WTF! They built an entire fuckin transcontinental railroad in 1869, but nobody can add a Septa route without an ass-searing federal subsidy? What is so hard and expensive about this shit?
