I.e., "It's high-speed rail or nothing!"?
Transportation should be a well-coordinated web of a variety of different forms of transportation, from walking to bicycling to scheduled buses to streetcars and light rail to subways to trains, both low and high-speed. Paratransit. Taxis. Air travel. Rental cars and vans. Jitney buses.
And if the price of oil continues to rise ("If". Right!), eventually it will become economically infeasible for all of us to use our private cars all of the time and when *THAT* happens, suddenly it will become economically feasible for all of these transportation choices to flourish, even out in the boonies.
