because on a day like today, with a jumper on the bridge and an accident in the battery st tunnel, there is nothing buses can do. so i sit in traffic with everybody else when a rail system would be zipping around all this, perfectly unaffected.
yes, rail systems have their jumpers too, but their effects are much more localized. a rail jumper won't wreck road commutes, and vice versa.
if all these stuck car commuters still don't think rail is worth $65/yr they deserve this.
