Most of US mass transit isn't an option as the Gov. didn't plan for it and have no intention of ever funding any but a token to assure workers have to pack lick sardines.

They won't fund it because we aren't a society, just a bunch of rugged individuals at each other's throats over green paper scraps.

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was ‘Oh no, not again’. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.
