MISCELLANEOUS CABAL RANTINGS & BRAIN FARTS Home of More Transit Links Than You can Possibly Check(tm), Unless you have no life other than websurfing Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity: and I'm not so sure about the universe. Einstein From the Cabalmaster: NEW BUSWAY IN JAKARTA www.itdp.org/STe/ste12/index.html#transjakarta Apparently this new busway has failed to attract the number of predicted passengers, likely for similar reasons why some rail lines fail to attract their predicted patronage. PETER GORDON’S GOT A BLOG, GOT A BLOG, GOT A BLOG! www-rcf.usc.edu/~pgordon/blog/. (oh wait a minute we already publicized this!) Now see here Dr. Gordon, you can’t accuse us of not putting up links to our opponents! NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED: PASADENA – MONTCLAIR GOLD LINE EXTENSION The Metro Gold Line Construction Authority was formed in 1999 to build a light rail line between Los Angeles, Pasadena and Montclair. The first segment, between Union Station, Pasadena and Sierra Madre Villa was opened in July 2003. The Authority has launched a new website www.la-pasblueline.org IS IT SOMETHING WE’VE SAID??? Randal O’Toole, whom we’ll call The Veritable Viscount of Verbosity: WE’RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO SHOULD QUIT WHILE WE’RE AHEAD! Not by the hairs on his chinny-chin chin. Instead . . . he’ll huff, and he’ll puff . . . and he’ll huff, and he’ll puff . . . (just what you’d expect from a steam train buff*!) (*”alleged” steam train buff, that is . . . good ol’ Randal has not responded to an earlier post – with newspaper citation -- in which we raised this issue.) But don’t bother trying to explain this to Randal. All you’ll get is some remark disparaging your “jealously guarded ideology” . . . or something equally idiotic.
