[sustran] Re: Recent public transport costs studies?

[Todd Edelman, Green Idea Factory]

Hi Paul,

We can assume that you are telling the inquisitor that this is the 
wrong/just part of the question? ;-)    

In other words what about vehicle acquisition costs, running costs, 
energy supply, complementary infrastructure, increase in tax revenue 
because of rise in property values (not that that is good thing) or 
stimulated retail, decrease in emissions/road fatalities....

I wish I had some funny quote from a dead man or woman which would sum 
this up in a nutshell...
