  dear sustran-discuss members,

  vaguely i do remember something about an us-american city, where the (rail-based) public transport systems were bought up by the automotive industries, to be demolished, in order to push car-sales...

  can anybody tell, whether this holds true or is a rumour, which city this was, and whether there is any quotable information on this(bibliographical notes)??? 

  thank you very much.

  best regards,

  matthias mueth
  hamburg/germany
