More Transportation News - Wouldn't want anyone to think we're ignoring transportation issues here on Beaverhausen, so here's a calvacade of items to whet your interest. First off, a new study about traffic congestion has been released. Guess what? Traffic sucks! No big revelations there. Yay, California! Back on top again. And props to Chicago for acheiving bronze metal status. Sorry, DC. I think we need to build more roads, but I know some naysayers will disagree.

Next up, a report from the SF Chron about the changes underway to accomodate the giant new Airbus A380. Will the public flock to ride in one of these giant behemoths? I know I will always take a flight on a Boeing 777, if possible...the personal video screen makes it all worthwhile.

Finally, in light of recent announcements by the Bush Administration, the Sac Bee speculates on the potential for a post-Amtrak future for California railroad lines.
