  1. Interestingly here in Rhode Island we're so damned small it doesn't make any sense we don't have rail connecting every city like Pawtucket, Providence, Cranston, Warwick. In fact back in the day we had tracked and trackless trolleys in the area. That all got scrapped and we got shit ass buses.

  2. Have to do a few conversions. But RI is #2 most densely populated state. However when I do the math - it comes out to 15 people per acre. So we get jacked with buses that suck in this state.But up until the 1940's and 50's we had a streetcar network. It got torn out in favor of buses. Blame GM, Goodyear and Standard Oil for that one.
