I thoroughly enjoyed reading this post.<br />"Getting asses out of cars", is probably not gonna happen in my lifetime, in the US.<br /><br />FWIW: Having relocated to Atlanta, GA, I am just now starting to ride my bike to the bus stop, from my home. <br /><br />It takes 45 minutes to drive from the bus stop to home, during rush hour. It is only 3 miles to the bus stop from home.<br /><br />It takes me 45 minutes to get to work - travel time on the bus & train alone. It will likely take me at least that much, if I were to drive; which I refuse to do. People look at you like you are from Jupiter, when you tell'em you ride public transport and cycle.<br /><br />Yet, I see thousands of cars parked on GA-400, every morning and evening. <br /><br />Ways to get the situation under control might include: 1) 3) promote public transportation, 2) increase gas tax, 3) increase tax on automobiles.<br /><br />I am not sure the US politicians would want to do that and risk the chance of re-election.<br /><br />Peace :)GreenComotionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272116464292908327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955311294411328562.post-74639054492370664282013-07-22T20:48:00.182-06:002013-07-22T20:48:00.182-06:00Or, just ride your bike and don't worry about ...Or, just ride your bike and don't worry about it.

It could be done I guess, but what a mess it would be, and what's the use arguing about it?John Romeo Alphahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01289456379789026152noreply@blogger.com
