I want to relate this to ones position on bike lanes and whether you are bullish on the stock market.

I can't believe I'm the only one who thinks trains are less obvious.

Trains are the transportation baby that was thrown out with the bathwater.
One of the most frequent sources of delay for the remaining rail infrastructure around here is cars running into them at level crossings.
Seriously. Maybe I voted wrong.

In Philly, train-like vehicles run on tracks in the roads. They are obvious as can be.
They also have foghorn things that are meant to summon the owners drivers of double-parked cars that block the tracks. Obvious, indeed.

Great thread! From now on, whenever I'm riding and I see a train or a bus, I'll probably get a chuckle.
