THE PUBLIC PURPOSE

The Public Purpose has consistently found urban rail to be an expensive and ineffective strategy for reducing traffic congestion in automobile oriented urban areas, despite unsupportable claims by promoters to the contrary. Urban rail is quite appropriate in high density, highly centralized urban areas such as Tokyo-Yokohama, Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto, New York, London, Paris and Hong Kong. The Public Purpose is not opposed to urban rail. The Public Purpose is opposed to waste and deception.
