Paying for rail doesn't do anything to alleviate the need to pay for roads though. The comparison really is paying for trolley vs paying for Uber (or whatever)

Rail is only useful in certain situations and it's only useful if done correctly. Neither of these things are happening in this case.

And don't worry about your vote. It's really irrelevant. It's really about making you feel like you have a voice then actually you having a voice.
