yeah cuz the lobby worked so well to fight trains in cities as well as cross country. i was working a job in a city 3 hours from my city for 6 months. i drove home on the weekends to have family time. i had to waste 6 hours of my weekend driving to and from instead of just hopping a train and taking a nap or reading piefed or just looking out the window enjoying the view.

fuck the oil lobby. they ruined a lot of things that could have been great for us in the make of money.
