Yeah but have you noticed how I keep going back to the subject at hand and reiterating my initial statements but you’re actively ignoring all of that and instead choosing to just try and insult me in vague terms?

You obviously realise that I have enough interest in and understanding of transport infrastructure that your emotive and catchy slogan based arguments aren’t going to hold water as I can refute them with actual evidence based studies and the work of experts in the field. Possibly you’re also aware that my grasp of the importance of such systems in a left wing or socialist state eclipses your rudimentary idealism.
