"I'm puzzled when people say the Swiss have good transportation because they're rich. It has nothing to do with that. They're still using trams from 1970. They restore them every 7 years. Making do is part of the culture. If you're using trams for 50 years, that's a hell of a savings."

@straphanger BART was until recently using rolling stock from about 1970. It was beat up, grungy, and loud, but it got the job done. I wish Seattle hadn’t voted against rail back then.
