Would you ride your local transit system even if it was free?

We seem to be running out of money to maintain or provide any kind of transportation infrastructure, whether it be for cars, trains, buses, or even walking. Four times as many U.S. residents have been killed in motor vehicle accidents as were killed in all our nation's wars since the Revolution (1776) yet our politicians seem determined to provide enough parking and roads to accommodate every auto the manufacturers can sell. And local and county governments still continue to allow new housing and job opportunities at sites that are accessible to motorist's only. Is that our manifest destiny? <br /> <br />We better start getting concerned about whether people who cannot, should not, or choose not to drive have any rights. We might never get out of our traffic congestion mess if we don't figure out a way to prohibit any new development that is not at least as accessible and functional for non-motorists as it is for those who drive.
