[lbo-talk] trains vs. planes redux

[Gar Lipow]

Wojtsek, since I have criticized  you often enough when I disagreed, I
want to belatedly say that your  stuff on transport apartheid has been
really good;  you just took some points that tend to get paid way too
little attention and summarized them really well.

I want to comment on the same line in the BBC piece you linked to that
inspired  John Mage's joke


> Unlike rail operators, airlines are not limited to a fixed track, so  the skies have vastly more capacity than Britain's clogged train network.

However what is limited are airports, runways, and terminals and
gateways. You can build more of course, but you can build more track
too.
