I'm sure the folks over at Metro would be willing to entertain your idea for a subway,

A Houston subway isn't "my idea", pantload.
I was merely commenting to rock58seg as to NYC's incentive for building underground.
IMHO, Houston would be better off by simply revoking th licenses of the idiots who don't know how to drive.
But if they'd rather spend the extra $$$ to go underground, that's OK with me.

Actually I don't like any of the plans. Light rail is impractical. Its all a boondoggle to put money in it's sponsors pockets. I was pointing out why other areas have less interaction between motorists and trains/trollies. Light rail is only desired by people who make money off of the original planing, building and susequent patronage.

Wham-Bam indeed! Did the local politicians at least smile afterward.
