David, you're right.

Anyone jumping up and down about public money spent on a line that WCR uses
for PUBLIC SERVICES should be absolutely screaming - no - bellowing about the
huge hideous waste of public funds on the road system, which is almost
exclusively used by private vehicles.

The use of public funding for mass-public transit systems is never a waste or
pork barrelling because it is for the common good - not individual gain (here
comes a folld of "I'm an idividual" type flames for me, lcky I'm still
covered in that marshmellow!).
