It's not just the US where cars are increasingly unaffordable and smaller, more economical models unavailable. This is deliberate by the auto industry. High-quality options to the car keys can make car ownership truly optional and save households a lot of money. LEGALIZE TRANSPORTATION FREEDOM.

In which the nation's most average driver tries to buy a new car and realises we’re all poor now.

Neither FDOT or Amtrak are innocent here. Million$ spent and 27 years of negotiations. NY-Miami trains won't be serving Miami International Airport. We need major passenger rail policy reform and must get beyond the Amtrak model for providing service.

Amtrak, now eight years late pulling its first train into a station built to its specifications at Miami International Airport, has finally set a firm arrival date: never. In a short letter, the National Railroad Passenger

We recommend this podcast interview with Joshua Dominic, one of the co-founders of Dreamstar Lines, which is aiming to start a SoCal-San Fran night train in early 2026. We're rooting for Dreamstar Lines

I can attest. Once my former job allowed work from home 3 days/wk, my mood improved. My family is also happier vacationing in places that are walkable and have good transit:

A car is often essential in the US but while owning a vehicle is better than not for life satisfaction, a study has found, having to drive too much sends happiness plummeting

The expense of car ownership is straining US households. The shotgun marriage between Americans and cars needs to go. Legalize transportation freedom. Make it so car ownership is truly a choice by providing viable options to the car keys.

Car ownership is a huge expense, especially for low-income U.S. households, which spend a third of their pre-tax paychecks on transportation, new federal stats show.

As frustrating as this is, it's a symptom of a bigger issue: this country's failure to create a viable, robust national passenger rail program supported by money in a dedicated trust fund (like highways enjoy) necessary to build it. Passenger trains need their own tracks, whether it is separate tracks within existing rail rights-of-way, within unused portions of highway rights-of-way (where feasible), or dedicated passenger-only rights-of-way.

WASHINGTON — Class I railroads this week disagreed with Amtrak’s contention that its passenger trains should enjoy absolute and unlimited priority over freight trains. Amtrak, as part of its complaint over Union Pacific’s handling of the Sunset Limited, told the Surface Transportation Board ea...

Amtrak’s financials seem to be off to a roaring start in the early months of Fiscal 2025, with ridership and revenues at least double year-ago levels in all three Amtrak business lines – Northeast Corridor, State-Supported, and Long-Distance.
