Re: Re: Announce: HoustonTx.pm

It's always puzzled me that Houston, a city of more than
four million people, hasn't got a single bus, not
a single train, not a single gram of public
transport available to the public.

Hmmm...maybe there's a connection between people with
enough good sense to use Perl, and enough good sense to
take public transport?

They're in the process of building a light rail from the Astrodome through the Med center into downtown. There should be one from downtown out to Katy, Sugarland, Galveston/Clearlake, Kingswood, and the airport and Woodlands. However, our friend Tom Delay has consistently blocked all funding at the federal level for rail in Houston. He's a bit of an ass. Perhaps I should turn him into a very small perl script. We do have the buses, however, even if finding the schedules and routes can be a pita. Matt	[reply]

I remember a story from the early 90's about Southwest Airlines squashing a plan to build a high-speed rail between the big three Texas cities (San Antonio, Houston, Dallas), since traffic between those cities was a huge percentage of their business. Gotta love how the politicians are always looking out for their constituents. -Blake	[reply]
