again you are off topic - the author is discussing the tax surcharge to finance rail; not whether rail was the best alternative based on the EIS.  manage lane is a poor alternative as it is not a mass transit system, if there are tolls, the poor people will not use it, it only will encourage the use of more cars (the purpose of a mass transit system is to decrease the use and reliance on cars), and it does not really solve the congestion issue, it just transfer it to another area.
