Here's an interview with the director of the American Conservative Center for Public Transportation, William Lind, who sees America's dependence on imported oil as a national security issue. He favors rail, as opposed to buses, because he believes those of his ilk will never be willing to sit next to the poor, non-white folks who often ride buses.
