Public transportation is awful. California keeps trying to implement it, but it's poorly maintained and no one wants to get rid of their cars. It's only preferable when no one wants or plans to go anywhere outside the preallocated / approved locations. You don't seem to have addressed the needs of anyone who doesn't live in a dense city. How about suburbia? The midwest? Try walking a couple blocks in Phoenix, AZ in summer. I really doubt that our government, state or national, is capable of maintaining a decent infrastructure. California is certainly a good example of the propensity towards failure. (Maybe if we try again, with some extra rules, they'll do better next time?) > we do a very poor job making the alternatives attractive...until we can either make car ownership/use more expensive I really hope that the solution to poor transportation infrastructure won't be making the part that works even worse.
