You are talking about station vehicles where a person drives to mass transit, but now you put dowm mass transit because it is too route specific. MAKE UP YOUR MIND. Besides, in Northern Virginia (Springfield), where I lived, I could walk half a block to catch a bus that took me the three miles to the metro station. Busses ran about every 15 min. during rush hour. If I REALLY care about the environment all that much, services are available to support me. George Bonser grep@cris.com
