No need to change the truth. For example, the argument about no change in traffic congestion is flawed because rail opponents dont include passengers traveling by rail. If those passengers were in their cars, the commute time would increase by hours and the traffic congestion would be horrendous.

The argument about high cost of operations and maintenance is also flawed because rail opponents don't include a huge change In tax base from development around rail stations. Opponents wrongly assumed no change in economic growth. Just plain wrong.

The three million dollar price tag is not a careful estimate of rail costs. Yet opponents keep quoting this figure from a time when even the proposed route was different and the number of rail stations and columns was not known. Furthermore when the actual cost was projected there was a plebesite which rail won.

Finally, opponents put up Gov Cayetano during whose administration the pay-for-play scandal broke and discredited him to the majority.
