The fact that it isn't so heavily subsidized.


Fine, what would you like - accessibility or service cuts?


don't ever ask that question of someone who is getting NO service at all,
you might not like the answer.

what would you prefer some service or no service is the same question if
you ask a person in a wheelchair.

Vehicle replacement (providing trains with wheelchair access) is
relatively easy. Putting access into a deep level mass transit system
is much more easy


???? I don't understand the question
