re: BLOG: Freight Master Plan: It's About Time!
You can't drive a 747 on the freeway either... and submarines can't cross railroad tracks... what's the point of any of the above comments?
Different modes of transport serve different purposes. While roads are by far our most general-purpose mode, the fact that particular mode serves a narrower set of purposes does not invalidate having that mode available.
There are legitimate criticisms of various modes, for sure, but "can't move freight on MAX" isn't one of them.
