What the hell is this shite?

WHY??? THIS SUCKS!!
This will not be "profitable" It'll be subsidized.
The studies on it say it it's a crappy idea

But this summer, HUD unexpectedly told Gov. John Bel Edwards’ administration that it could keep $20.5 million of that money, as long as the state spent it to help people in parishes most impacted by the devastating 2005 storms.
Lord knows if there is one thing the people down there need the most it is a publicly subsidized passenger train.

$20 million is a fart in a hurricane for rail.
Let alone passenger rail.
Let alone passenger rail.

They are slowly but surely tying the passenger train systems together, because once they force everyone into non-working EV’s, then they will say “get on the train, no worries” and if you’ve been a bad boy and haven’t taken your JAB, stay on the train until The last stop in Gulag Town.

It’s going to be on Government Street by Electric Depot near the interstate.

If there was a train loop with multiple trains constantly going from Baton Rouge, the Northshore, and New Orleans that would be super cool. This would include stops for the airport. That is the nice stuff they have in the Northeast.
I would have definitely used it. You could have people riding the train to several of the universities also.

Why? Seems like it would be sensible to build a rail span, next to the Causeway, from the Northshore to Union Station.

A rolling crime scene.
No pay raises for cops, or teachers(where you could attract better ones, no repairs to infrastructure.
No way would I get on that thing and be a sitting duck for predators.
