Comments on: AMBUS Every Minute For Cost Of AMTRAK https://boiseguardian.com/2009/09/20/ambus-every-minute-for-cost-of-amtrak/ A different slant on the news.

Soon, the roads will become unuseable for long distance travel. We need to bring back trains now or we’ll forget what coffee ever tasted like, not to mention the loss of some actually important things….

I would use it cause I’m tired of the daily commute and the new Ten Mile Road Traffic Jam.
How ’bout we dump ACHD and CCHD in Favor of a Treasure Valley Highway District. How about ramping up bus lines for the whole valley, not just BSU and Boise Downtown.

Heard you on KBOI yesterday morning and what you said surely has some people thinking about the cost and magnitude of this kind of expense.

The money would be better spent on the east coast region of the country for rail improvments and busses out west.
