text: Finally I get to hear my own pet peeve articulated this beautifully in the Globe and Man.
  I have never understood why we employ highly trained experts in the field of transit then ignore their plans for something that was dreament up the night before. If Smart Track was really smart it would have already been planned by the experts. 
  
  The billions being spent on that ridiculous subway to Scarborough is evidence enough that politicians are a very big part to the problem and not a solution. 
  
  Experts should draft the solutions and the politicians worry about the funding and the timing on roll out of the project.
  
  Thank You for this article.
