Oh, the Democratics love to crow about it; they're even plotting new ways to force light rail into Clark County, Washington - the fact that residents there have repeatedly rejected previous efforts and have clearly demonstrated that they don't want it matters not to the Willamette Valley Democratics who simply know what's best (for others). But just how great is the Portland-area "transit system"?
As it turns out, not very; a new study shows that it doesn't even make it into the top ten in the USA.
Probably nothing that a few billion dollars more can't fix.
