Okay, now I am not against public transit, I think -- done right-- it could be smart. But again, what about people who are more rural than you or I ; like where roxanne or sage or gene or my parents , live. There is very little chance of building public transit to all of the rural hamlets throughout a country this large. My question might have been better put by asking how do we make up for those people who must continue to drive above average distances, from need, not want?

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.
