Why Public Transportation isn't more Popular

I've always said, and will continue to say, that trains and buses are just not a valid form of transportation for many people. Things like this just enforce my opinion about public transportation.

If enviromentalists want people to drive fewer cars, they better give a good alternative. Saying "take the bus/train/bicyle" is not a good alternative. Not when you live miles away from a drop off point, or the system is never on time (too late or too early).

Cars are wonderful because they get you were you need to go on *your terms*. Sure the traffic may be horrible, but at least you can control how comfortable you are while you're waiting.

I feel like I should go more in depth with this. Buuuuuut I don't feel like it. Sorry folks! XD
