  >try, 'hello better public transportation' If there's money left for infrastructure. I think America has already missed its chance to build railroads.

    I actually still hope the california High Speed Rail will eventually be build. That will creat ecosystems around it's stations, with higher density, that might create the blue print for better urban mass transit. But the gas prices are not high enough for people to yet make radical chanes. When it reaches $6/gallon, then we will see some significant changes. As history dictates, great pain and suffering is a catalyct for change. Right now gas prices are not painful enogh, there is not much will regionally, and most people don't know better, for real change to happen.

    How about buses? Buses don't require much infrastructure. Also, the cost scales almost linearly with the number of passengers, and they can be easily rerouted depending on demand.
