- Jason Merrill's comments on public transit deleted:
-
- In many cities public transportation really does work. My city (San Antonio)
- is plagued by gridlock, but the only public transit we have are buses, which
- share those same jammed-up roads. Our bus system is grossly inefficient,
- inconvient, and just plain unreliable. It gets the tourists around ok, but
- for many people 2-hour trips are common, with 45 minute waits sometimes at
- transfer points. People are sometimes late getting somewhere because of
- buses running late. Sometimes a 5 minute delay at a departure point becomes
- an extra hour added on to the trip. It works in other places, but not here.
