Devoted to exposing the Myth of Light Rail - has links to citizen
organizations, news articles and think tanks studying transportation and

To be fair and unbiased, you should
search on the words "Light Rail" in any of the popular search
engines. You will find many pro and con web sites.
Unfortunately, the Light Rail advocates have resorted to
misinformation. As an example, some actually brag that Light Rail can
average almost 20 miles per hour "even with stations located
every mile". The implication being that Light Rail is a fast,
efficient way to commute. Yikes! One must study the subject
before understanding the severe economical drawbacks and uselessness of
Light Rail mass transit systems.
