Oh, almost forgot ...

In 1983 in Disney World in Orlando, Fl.

They had a Monorail that worked Beautifully.

That was Over 32 Years Ago!

Cities in other Countries have had them for Years.


Why Can't Baltimore & Other American Cities Build Them?

Because BIG OIL is Against It ???




TRANSPORTATION

Tom Hyland - (C) - 8/12/15


Today I listened to a Talk Show on Radio ...
The Mayor of Baltimore was on it.

One of the topics was the City's Transportation System.
The New Governor Kogan put the Kibosh ...
To the Red Line, but No Alternate Plan offered.

I tried to call in with my Suggestion ...
But the line was Busy.

About 53 Years ago, around 1962 ...
My First Trip to Atlantic City, N.J.
They had these Cute Little Busses, called Jitneys!

They were only about ˝ the Size ...
Of the Behemoths used today in most Cities.

These Big-Assed Monsters Have ...
Always been a Pet Peeve of Mine.

Stinking Diesel Fumes ...
And the Drivers treat them like Ostriches ...
Pulling the Nose in to the curb at every Stop ...
But leaving the Ass-End Out, Blocking Traffic!

It would seem to me that Smaller Jitneys ...
That maybe held ˝ as many People ...
Might be less cumbersome to Traffic ...
Cost Less to Purchase ... and Less to Operate.

Sure, you would need More of Them ...
To handle the Volume, but is it not Worth a Try?

(C) - TKH.

Every city has its problems. I read some time ago that the oil people kept Los Angeles from developing a decent public transportation system as far back as the 40s, resulting in its massive urban sprawl. We have that here in oil city, as well. But we have light rail that was fought by many, but is now quite successful if reaching only a small portion of the population. We have had many collisions with vehicles because there are many points along routes that intersect with automobiles.

To solve this problem, I would recommend raising the lines like the El in Chicago and in some portions of the subway in NYC. Every approach has its problems. We are desperately in need of a quicker way to travel between Dallas and Houston. Landowners are objecting to purchasing right of ways to make that happen. Once again, I recommend raising the line of high speed transit so that animals and vehicles can easily pass underneath without danger.

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
