The "Rail Transit In America: Comprehensive Evaluation of Benefits" study
says otherwise.
-----------------------
The study concludes that rail transit service costs are repaid several
times over by reduced congestion, road and parking facility costs, reduced
traffic accident costs, and consumer cost savings.

"Rail Transit In America" is available at http://www.vtpi.org/railben.pdf
The executive summary is available at http://www.vtpi.org/railbensum.pdf
