The thing with public transit is that wherever we want to see it go, we need more people using it. Higher ridership means more frequent busses/trains, more voting clout, and a much better sense of where to put new routes. And given what we spend on individual roads, it's insane that the fares for transit have to keep going up. Why is it that when drivers need to get somewhere quickly and efficiently it's seen as an economic benefit, but when transit users do, it's a "drain"?

Gods bless the LRT debate for finally stirring some sense into this whole topic.
