Mass Transit in your City

But riding around on a little moped with cars and hundreds of other mopeds only inches away scared the crap out of me :oops:

Try riding a bike through a large city (pretty much anywhere in the world). That's interesting (although I consider basejumping a healthier activity :shock: )

[RANT]I live in the largest US city without any public mass transit - Arlington TX (pop 330,000). There is a handicapped-access bus, but nothing for regular folks. We're right smack dab between Dallas and Fort Worth. There have been referendums on adding buses, but the yahoos who live here vote it down.

What is so stupid is they're building the new Dallas Cowboy's stadium here, next to the Texas Rangers and Six Flags. Game days are going to be fun.[/RANT]

boilmaker, dont complain. When it snows in Seattle (and it sticks), there can be 7-12 hour waits on the freeways.....

LOL! This is true. I missed a Seahawks game once and I landed 4 hours before the game.

Cincinnati utterly sucks in the MT department. We have buses and taxis but due to the amount of stops and the regular traffic going in to and out of the city from Greater burbs, you can generally get there about 5 times faster if you drive yourself. What we need is a light rail system parallel to our colossal 3 lane interstates but the voters continually vote it down due to a better anti-light rail campaign.

What's really funny is we also have an equally bad outbound rush in the morning and inbound rush in the evening... If you ever land in CVG during either rush hour, plan extra time.

During RUsh hour in Seattle you can expect a 30 minute drive to beocme a 2 hour drive........ I still dont understand how people continually vote way to fix it and then they whine its trafficy...
