And that's why this region also has a thriving cycle, >taxi and private vehicle business! :-) 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... :) Patrick
