Great Questions About High-Speed Rail at the Columbia Daily Tribune

By David Stokes on Oct 1, 2009

Today’s Columbia Daily Tribune has a terrific editorial asking a lot of tough questions about the value of high-speed rail for Missouri. Questions like: Will anyone ride it? What about the operating costs? Will more subsidies be required? And where the hell was I?

All good questions, and all answered (except the last one) in Randal O’Toole’s new Show-Me Institute study about high-speed rail in Missouri. Check out both the article and the study, and thanks to Combest for the original link.
