One problem is that mass transport was designed for a very different lifestyle than we have today. It worked fine when families lived in a city or close in suburb, and the man went to work in the urban center from 9 to 5, and the wife stayed home and did all of the family errands and child care within a few blocks of home.
Not a whole lot of people work 9 to 5 and commute without any need to make a stop on the way to or fro. Gov’t workers come closer than anyone else -
Apart from the quite generous 9 to 5 estimate on how long a government worker can sustain rational thought...where do they differ from anyone else in distance traveled or errands en route?
You're saying we have a public transportation system designed for a typical town in 1955?
We're keeping a dysfunctional antiquated system so liberal politicians can feel good about themselves? On our dime? Is that it?
