Yeah, but we're supposed to be trying to eliminate that by creating a
"perfect" transit system such that no one needs to drive private
vehicles.   Actually, it no one did drive pv's, I guess transit would
be near perfect...   no more cars cutting off buses, no more traffic,
enough people on buses to justify more routes, etc.    Cursed
catch-22, eh!   People don't take transit because it isn't perfect.
But transit would be near perfect if everyone took it...   :)
