  15.  You like public transport, fine. I don't. equally fine. The problem
  16. occurs when public transport advocates assume that they occupy some
  17. sort of moral high ground, that enables them to force people who
  18. don't like public transport, to use it. Frankly, the more people who
  19. use public transport the better. It frees the roads up for me.
  20. <the problem with public transport is, well, you know ... it's public ..>
