How silly. What landuselaw was saying is that no new infrastructure is needed for the bus to run but it would cost, what, say an extra billion to put in new high speed rail tracks so that a minute fraction of the people who will use the existing road can take the train.

I think your using it backwards. Darn. I was just going to say that states were "upset," but "chuffed" sounded a little like a steam engine, so I used it instead. Serves me right for reading the <em>Economist</em> (where I probably first encountered the word) but not keeping up on Britishisms. Marcotico said:
