These new Mass transit systems are impressive because they are so new and clean. If the state and local authorities incorporate smart urban planning into their mass transit plans, they will stagnate their local economy and bolster the polluted, environmental conditions. People, the voters, have to keep the momentum going and push their so-called political representatives to do the right thing instead of "business as usual". Cutting back on Mass Transit is the worse thing the government can do as more and more people depend upon it as lifeline and economic reprieve.
