@Alon Italy case study was interesting read :)

P.S. thanks for the responses.

@RM_Transit @Alon a reason (not entire) for the stark contrast between good* airport transit and other American transit being built. The federal funding criteria! This table describing the grading metric for grant awards has existed for my entire professional life and heavily favors the ongoing operating expense of labor intensity.

FAA regulated ticket fees do not have this language.

*Except you PANYNJ, you suck.
