But they do have an incentive to find transportation solutions that have a return on investment of a couple of years. I'd argue that a faster cycle is much better with anything that deals with technology. Let's not spend decades to build the best horse drawn carriage in history only to have it passed by an automobile the day it launches.
- chrishacken 12y agoI'd agree, but transportation is inherently slower to build than your average tech gadgets. By that logic, we probably just shouldn't build anything at all. A 10-15 mile highway expansion project here in Philadelphia has been going on for almost 2 years now.
