[quote user="Phoebe Vet"] <p><font color="#800000">...you will see that 75% of the cars parked there have SOUTH Carolina plates. We don't need a bigger ramp, we need to extend the line into South Carolina.</font>[/quote]</p><p>DART has a similar problem. Many people who live in cities outside of the DART service area have discovered public transit. They have been piling onto the trains at the end of the line, e.g. Plano, Garland, etc. </p><p>It also illustrates one of the problems of subsidized transit systems. The people who live in the service area cities pay a one per cent sales tax to help fund DART. Those who live outside of the service area pay nothing. Ironically, since they get on the trains at the end of the line, they get the seats. The folks who pay the tab through their sales tax frequently get an opportunity to stand. </p>
