Around here (San Francisco Peninsula), public transport is close to 
useless, so I particularly resent the idea that more $ down that
particular rat-hole is a good idea.  If light rail could be built to
serve residential areas, work locations, and downtowns, in that order,
I would be enthusiastic.  But when projects are proposed, there is 
such eagerness to move people from work to downtown (to spend $)
without any service to residential areas, that I have voted against
every single proposal.
