I support things like light rail but only where it makes sense. I think a lot of comments like yours are from people who live in dense cities and have no idea what life is like in suburban and rural areas that constitute a large part of the US. Also, the last mile issue is very real and needs to be solved.

    Folding bikes, sure. Or you get a bikeshare sub. Regular bikes aren't allowed on trains because they're too crowded.
