As a result of the cost savings I am able to own my own home as an intern working 3/4 time.<BR/><BR/>I find it strange that I keep seeing these posts (on various blogs) from people who are venturing out of their cars and into the "wondrous world of transit."<BR/><BR/>In my mind transit is as close to the real world that you can get. You see society for what it is - young, old, rich, poor, the racial diversity, etc. I agree transit should be better all around, with traffic signal priority, real time information, better right of way and vehicles and a number of other measures, but you're right. People shouldn't have to be heroes to make the lifestyle switch - and in actuality, making a mode switch for a number of trips is what society should expect of people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242129210070049619noreply@blogger.com
