LA's air sucks more due to local geographic conditions than anything else.  
I believe that Spanish explorers noticed a "haze" over what was to become 
LA 500 or so years ago.

That being said, transit is a good thing - on a train, you can do things 
*other* than driving, like reading a book, or talking to others.
