Re: Buses vs Rail and Cars vs Transit
A cancelled inner city rail line. Funds diverted to suburban roads. Now a civil rights race discrimination lawsuit.

Road Geek Topics
You're probably right about the thread appropriateness. Quickly looking didn't find one better and didn't think it needed a new one. Mods feel free to move it.

A bone chilling quote: "An inspection revealed that 14 confiscated weapons were missing, sexual-assault test results were contaminated and property relating to 1,138 cases wasn’t tracked, Hutton wrote in a November report to Deb Hill, the Newport city administrator.
