Two truths about public transportation:

1) Liberals love it because they envision forcing YOU to take trains, subways and blight rail while THEY travel our less-congested roads; less congested because they taxed you into public transportation being all you can afford. Their transportation model is Beijing where the masses (YOU) have to pedal a bicycle while the elites (THEM) ride around in limos. That’s how liberals think.

2) In the South, particularly in the summer, mass transit will never work. Why? Because public transit never takes you where you want to go. It takes you a couple of blocks from where you want to go. By the time you’ve walked the final blocks, you have sweated through your clothes in 90-degree heat and 80-percent humidity. It takes just a day or two of that to decide you’d rather take your car.

It doesn't even take me a minute or two. I jump into The Dodge Ram and off I go.

IMO, mass transit is akin to an incinerator to burn public funds.

Another TRUTH about Public Transportation is you are in a non defensible situation, mostly unarmed and vulnerable to all the Liberal fantasies like we recently saw in Baltimore! Yeah let’s just give the Government full control of everything and take the BUS.
