I think we are just beginning to see the resurgence of rail transport.

I am not so sure that energy costs are going to go through the roof. I was thinking that 10 years ago when gas got to $1.40 but the price actually has gone down. I think congestion and the enormous cost of expanding roads is what is going to drive people to want alternate transport. And that is where buses have no advantage. They also get caught up in congestion. That is the appeal of rail with its separate right of way.

I am far from convinced that the Moose proposal is serious, however, we should not entirely dismiss regional rail.
