I agree with this guy, the US needs more rail infrastructure,(reply>), @Captain Obvious Bus lines run on public roads. Recipients of the very biggest infrastructure subsidies of all - all those gas taxes, plus state and federal appropriations.,(reply>), @Erik    False. There are many profitable bus lines that operate off of <b>no subsidies whatsoever.</b>  The assumption that transportation infrastructure needs government subsidies in order to operate is blatantly false.,(reply>), @Captain Obvious No kind of transportation infrastructure is <b>profitable.</b> They all cost money. It's  a matter of what we subsidize, and how we distribute the costs.,(reply>), @DonPacific Bobcat9er corporate taxes? Taxes on the rich?,(reply>), I agree. Now on to the more important question, how is the US going to pay for it?
