The automobile costs us so much money beyond just imported oil. It clogs our roads and ruins transportation. We spend billions sitting in rush hour traffic. We need an effective convenient bus system. Americans think buses are only for the poor. This can change if buses are clean and have very flexible routs. If more people use buses then there can be more of them going more places more often. Philadelphia has done it. All of our major cities need to do it. Think of a private car service that pics you up at the end of your street 24/7. Think of real time GPS locations of the buses on your Iphone. AND THE CATCH... These buses can RUN ON NATURAL GAS. WE NEED TO STOP WASTING TRILLIONS ON AUTOMOBILES BECAUSE WE CAN\'T PLAN A PUBLIC SYSTEM THAT WORKS. Public transportation can allow us to relax, read the paper, talk on the phone SAFELY, and SAVE LIVES from less wrecks. NY and Chicago and DC enjoy real public transportation. We need to expand the principles to provide it in less dense areas. WE MUST EMBRACE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IF WE ARE TO STAY RICH. The automobile costs us so much money beyond just imported oil.
