Public Transit & Light Rail Neg

Here is an article I found that has some great neg cards against a public transit case or light rail. It is a bit dated (2003) with one particularly damaging quotation regarding public transit:

The “race” between the automobile and public transit is over. The auto has won. Nothing short of an economic debacle that drastically reduces urban standards of living can overturn this outcome.

Hmm… sounds a bit like the past year :-) . Here is a great example of an evidence indict. If someone quotes this article to explain why public transit would not be utilized they would probably not include this paragraph. But having it available as an answer for your public transit affirmative case to use in the 1AR would look amazing to any judge.

Interesting. A bit angry at points, but still informative, kind of. It takes all kinds, I guess.
