No, it sure doesn't. Nor does it cover the foregone time lost spent commuting longer and longer, and the foregone economic stimulus that roads give to commerce and industry that mass transit simply does not. Not many goods and services move by commuter train. Nick Byram (Bay Area Exile) Antelope, CA "Cars and guns are both instruments and symbols of personal independence - and both are targets of hostility and even hatred by those who are convinced that they can run other people's lives better than those people can run their own lives. All sorts of claims are made against cars and guns, without the slightest interest in checking those claims against readily available facts." -- Thomas Sowell
