oopsies....darn, would have liked to have seen it before they took it away.

Once again being denied futuristic transportation systems...even from looking at them. Those of you in cities that are more transportationally-gifted, appreciate them, cause you could be like Los Angeles, where our busses are literally made to look like trains because somehow they think that we'll be fooled into beliveing that they are actually better than the smog-belching, road-clogging, accident-causing behemoths they really are.

The rail system in Los Angeles is (compared to other cities) a joke. "Here's what not to do..."

L.A. denied Alweg from constructing a 43-mile futuristic monorail system in the 60s. Instead they dismantled the Pacific Electric Red Cars (the largest mass transit system ever at that time) and bought our busses and built our freeways.

What might have been...

...the horror...the horror...

whoops, rant, sorry bout that, but I'm very passionate about this, lol.
