there were times and places in recent history where public transportation was good enough. in vancouver, the train used to be nice. always clean, no bums or criminals, even drunk retards behaved themselves on a friday night. the train was much faster than driving through gridlock traffic, so it was a sound choice.  but it's not like that anymore. first it got crowded as it failed to keep up with population growth, then they stopped enforcing the rules to save money and now it's covered in shit and piss and is always full of violent junkies. no thanks, i'd rather waste an extra 30 minutes to avoid being among the dregs.
