McClintock says no way to San Francisco's 'subway to nowhere'

Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Rocklin, had something to say about the "subway to nowhere," a 1.7 mile train line in San Francisco that is estimated to cost $1.6 billion. 


You read that correctly: $1.6 BILLION dollars for less than two miles of rail. 


From the floor of the Congressional chambers yesterday, McClintock said: 

"It was supposed to link local light rail and bus lines with CalTrain and Bay Area Rapid Transit, but it's so badly designed that it bypasses 25 of the 30 light rail and bus lines that it crosses. To add insult to insanity, it dismantles the seamless light-rail to BART connection currently available to passengers."
