You cannot compare our public transportation with other countries that are so much smaller in land mass. Think of how large the U.S. is and realize that there really is nothing in between. But Richard was specifically talking about the short, local trips! Richard Erlacher said:

Weekends ... for get it! Rather than occasionally having a bus run without passengers, they want us, in the residential region of the city, to fire up our pickup truck with the 5.6 liter gas-guzzler and drive to the store/restaurant/shopping center. And, of course, it's these short trips for which the "5.6 litre gas-guzzlers" are particularly inefficient!! |
