I for one do not understand while more is not put into public transportation. I hate it that it more expensive to ride public transporation than it is to drive you're personal car. If public transporation was made more afforable, I'm sure that more people would use it. I would love to relax,and let some eles do the driving, while saving the enviorment at the same time. It also a shame that in the nothwest that Amtrack does not have it own rail. My friend who took Amtrack said, he could have gotten there faster on his bicycle then he did on Amtack. Instead of building roads let build rails, that will transport people and cause less wear and tear on the enviorment. Wake up floks if the enviorment go down the tubes , we all go wheather we have a stimuls package or not. With gas prices on the rise,and our depencncy or forgien oil.
