<p>[quote user="daveklepper"]</p> <p>One can get work done or do homework while riding a train. Listening to the radio is all that is possible while driving. [/quote]</p> <p>Or music CDs. Or books on CDs.</p> <p>In my part of the world (Texas) most people drive because of convenience and comfort. They can listen to their favorite radio station or pop in one of the aforementioned CDs, set the temperature control to their liking, and avoid putting up with people who are strangers to good hygiene and manners. </p> <p>I rode public transport for more than 35 years in Dallas. And I still take it to and from the University of Texas in Austin. But waiting for a bus or train when the temperature is 105 degrees is not an attractive proposition. It is a major reason people head for their air conditioned cars in Texas in the middle of the summer. Even less appealing is being seated next to someone who is yelling into a cell phone whilst I am trying to read.</p>
