Modern Mass Transit is making it easier for commuters, especially with the latest inter connecting wireless technologies. Many buses, commuter trains, shuttles and also trolley cars will have WiFi wireless computer access so nobody is out of touch during the travel time. That is being done now in Baltimore to NY trains and in Sacramento to San Francisco Trains because of Amtrak. After all we now have WiFi hotspots at McDonalds, Kinko's, Book Stores, Starbucks, Airports and hotel lobbies already.By having these amenities we are able to get people to stay out of these cars and revel in the commute and or take a high speed train on their next trip; not forgetting save the gasoline which is approaching $3.00 per gallon. Once the system is made the operational costs are relatively low taking into consideration the costs of expanding airports which generally have cyclical trends during boom and bust years and thus hard to manage your ROI, with gates becoming empty and new gates which must be built-in the up cycle. One only must follow the sector rotations of the airline industry and take a trip through the California desert and look at Vast amounts of dollars of Airliners sitting hibernated which might never be used again. Between the cutthroat price wars, Bankruptcy tactics and now era of International Terrorism we must rethink our transportation technique to include other redundancy methods, which can deliver the speed and comfort that people use to possess in Commercial Aviation.We have only a couple Nationwide Bus Companies that deliver people in the united states. We need to insure buses are safe also in the era of International Terrorism and at exactly the same time we need to increase usage and ridership. New interconnected wireless technologies can do both. Since you are already on the Internet you can send video feed back to the command and control for the mass transit system and constantly monitor.Providing amenities to commuters and safety simultaneously provides riders back and let's face it nobody wants to pay $85.00 every week to fill up their SUV with gasoline. Now could be a great time to coax the public back to the mass transit systems we have already create and improve the economies of scale to create those old embellished proformas used to float the bond measure possible. Can technology really do all that? Perhaps it could. Think about it."Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.
