Rapid Transit Inflexible Opponents Podium Split
Architecture expert William L Pereira chairs California transportation task force opposing SCRTD rail plans as too rigid for LA, urging adaptable rapid transit.

Transit critic Martin Wohl and Auto Club's Joseph Havenner push flexible, rubber-tired or bus-on-rail options over fixed rail.
