[quote user="John WR"] Since you asked, the American Public Transit Association says that public transit ridership for the whole country "surged" in the first quarter of 2012 with an increase of 5 per cent.  Cities all over the map contributed to that increase.:http://www.apta.com/mediacenter/pressreleases/2012/Pages/120604_Ridership.aspx Surfing around I found that in Denver 45 per cent of commuters use public transit while 39 per cent drive their cars.  While you observe "New Jersey is not the center of the universe" this sneering comment cannot be made about Denver.  I know you disagree with Dallas' decision to spend all that money on public transit.  But clearly you do not speak for the consensus.   New Jersey's rail transit system began before the Civil War.  We have some of the oldest railroad suburbs in the nation.  Planners call them "pearls on a string."  Relative to other places in the US we had a very large number of people who commuted by train when New Jersey Transit started.  It has quadrupled from a high base. [/quote] Denver is not the center of the universe.  Neither is Dallas or Houston or Los Angeles or New York. The center of the American universe is America.  If you want to know what is happening in the country as a whole, you need to look at the data for the entire universe.  Not just one piece of it!
