We have transit here.  It runs all over the place and the biggest "city" in 
the whole county is only 3500 people.  The ocunty is bigger than the state 
of Deleware or Rhode Island and the total population is 13,000.

Transit is doable, people just can't be bothered.  They need to think 
outside the box.  The transit here works because they don't just transport 
people.  If the shade tree machanic needs a part from the big city or Joe 
Citizen needs something from the "big" city, you pay $2 and the transit 
delivers it to the video store.  Same day you order it.  You can send stuff 
back to the lab or the library or whatever using the transit.

Think outside the box!  That is what we need.

But how does that help RURAL?

I live more than 10 miles from the closest small wide spot in the road town, 
and they will never build a bus, or trolley, etc. connecting us rural folks 
to the grocery store in town.

There's only two very teeny tiny towns in the whole county actually (the 
county is about the size of Miami-Dade County if not bigger in square miles. 
There's more people living in Dade County, than the whole state of New 
Mexico.

Bob wonders how the raising o gas prices elps rural people (of which I
am one). It's pretty straightfoward. Back before we had two cars in
every garage we had light rail. It will never come back unless it's
cheaper than driving. Right now we have private buses from a couple of
small towns to Springfield. The same is true for Peoria's Caterpillat
north of me. Without incentive people don't change, but ewxpensive gas
will bring change.
