		For example, a light rail development should be in same boat as PRT as it has risks associated with it too - enormous risks in fact.
		The reality is the rail system will only be 'more ideal' for commuters that live and work along the rail corridor, so it only has 'new choice' value for a small minority of people.
		If new rail lines were not mostly funded by the federal government it is extremely unlikely they would have ever been built.

	Railways Overview
		Where other transport modes are highly developed and able to provide effective competition in most markets, railways operate with little regulation of prices and services.
		Other technical factors affecting the efficiency of traffic movements by rail are different electric power supply systems for traction, sometimes in the same country, and different constraints on maximum physical dimensions and weight that can affect railways’ ability to compete for bulk and intermodal shipments.
		Shifting focus to the overall transport sector, one of the most important issues is the challenge to governments to maintain a ‘level playing field’ for competitive transport modes by requiring users of each mode to pay equitably for the resources required.
