[sustran] Re: (fwd) [UTSG] transport strategy transfer

[Jonathan E. D. Richmond]

Thanks, Karl. For everyone else: Karl is doing excellent work
in getting a good debate going over transport options for Bangkok. As he
says, though, there are serious constraints to making progress, and these
include political deadlock and a lack of will for individuals to consider
anything other than their "pet" options. I was troubled by some of the
extraordinarily ugly mud-slinging that went on at the valuable conference
Karl organized.
