Then why is it so easy for a person to get their drivers license and to
buy a car when people driving cars are responsible for so many deaths?

Now that I've corrected my little grammatical error, can you answer my
question?

>What planet do you come from?  Buses will never replace all other
>forms of transportation, at best they can only augment.  This is

When did I say that?  I never said that buses will or should replace
everything.  I only ask for people to be a little more thoughtful by driving
less when they can.  How hard can that be?

>America, not some little country in Europe, where people live jammed

>  The fact that people are spread out over such wide areas
>here makes it impossible for busses to perform anything more than a
>limited support role within urban, and to some extent, suburban
>neighborhoods.

Wrong.  I could argue endlessly on that issue.
