From the movie 1992 "Singles" where one of the main characters is working on the traffic problem:
"Single people get in their cars every morning. They drive and wonder why there's gridlock. This is what I've been working on.
If you had a supertrain...you give people a reason to get out of their cars. Coffee, great music...they will park and ride. I know they will."
