    Here's a fact: if you live anywhere near the rail, you get to listen to non-stop horns from the children who drive the trains. Think before buying.

      Children who drive the trains? Sounds like any other train in the US

    Here’s a fun fact: for what this cost Maricopa County taxpayers, a brand new Toyota Prius could’ve been bought for every citizen of Maricopa County.

      Here's another fun fact: those Toyota Pruis would now be 14 years old, breaking down, and contributing to traffic congestion. Meanwhile, the light rail is still perfectly operational- I'm more than happy to give my tax money to the rail! 😄

      Do you know that transporting an energy in electricity is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper than the same amount of energy in oils? Do you know that you need oil to transport oil? Do you know that the one train with 50 person in it consumes waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less gas than 50 cars do? Also, electricity can be generated from multiple sources, you know? Oh wait but you won't care any of these facts anyway. All the european and asian countries with tonnes of well built public transportation system must be so dummer than you. Why don't you just stop wasting your time here and be a president? ah ofc you must have voted a person with just like your level.
