Good post, but if you think about it, rather than depict the bureaucrats as being incompetent, from their standpoint, they have been more than competent. They have managed to have unions and politicians make BILLIONS of dollars. Watch how many politicians will land jobs with rail when they leave office. Does anyone believe that's all be accident? I just wonder how the rail project has been able to continue. The opposition is very broad, and countless suggestions for traffic congestion and the pitfalls of rail have been presented on this site alone. The recommendations have been so logical one must ask how can the project continue without any serious scrutiny. Time will tell how this fiasco ends.
