Letter: Push for train use

Railroads know intermodal, serve business and commerce with it. And what do we have? COG-VTA knows transit, “free” lite rail shuttle, Heavy Socialist Lite Rail, crucifying losses with Caltrain, almost as bad as Amtrak, empty bus-seat transport, gouging motorists and truckers to
pay their wasteful subsidies so that public-sector union employees have plump salaries and
exhorbitant pensions, and their manager Golden Parachuttes. Our business and commerce is at a competitive disadvantage due to the geniuses at COG-VTA, AMBAG, and the other unelected joint power authorities, like little Soviets in the USSR.
