"Everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance"...

The country's mayors prepare to do polite but pitched battle with the federal government on transit funding.

I love and am committed to public transit, but manufacturing subway cars and building buses is a pretty industrially intensive proposition. Whereas if we all walked a little more, or cycled, it would not only cut down on our car AND subway use, but would also benefit our bottom lines (and waist lines) in the long-term.

Which goes to show how, in the modern world, even the causes of progress are sometimes double-edged.

Just sayin'. Miller and Co., knock 'em dead.

But this is supposed to be an expansion up to York. Walking isn't really a feasible alternative.
