I could quote or link studies, but instead will just ask you to look at your own experience. Do you think you are unigue, an outlier, or the norm? If there was enough Public Transport for everyone how much would it take, what congestion would that create if every car was off the road. How many transfers would it take if evey car trip you take was on transit? How long would the trips take.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>And what would your roads be like if all that money was returned to the road budget. Out of staters hear that CA roads are getting pounded to crap and not getting repaired. But we're out of state, what do we know? <img style="display:inline;" alt="Big Smile" /></p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>This is California... where political, not pragmatic concerns tend to drive spending.
