Most people use rail transit to get to work or to an event downtown or across town a distance of up to 30 miles, most do not use the transit systems to shop for a HDTV a mile or two from home.... <br /> <br />If you were standing by a freeway lane of traffic, and if the traffic kept a safe distance of two seconds behind every vehicle, only 30 cars would pass that point you are standing at in a minute if the traffic was flowing at 60 mph..... 30 cars per minute equal 1800 cars per hour.....per lane.....at 60 mph..... Lesser speed would equal a lesser number of cars..... <br /> <br />Any number anyone quotes as higher presumes tailgating, a very unsafe practice..... <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
