With the price of gas going through the roof the importance of public transportation is now becoming a topic of conversation among drivers. Their pocketbooks are getting hit so hard that they are beginning to consider alternative ways of getting around. Like taking the bus or the underground, something that many people have never done in their lives.
We are just now seeing the economic toll our dependence on foreign oil is taking and we are scrambling for cheaper ways to get around. But in many cities, the alternative is not there, or it’s just not efficient. In large cities, like NY, Chicago,San Francisco or Los Angeles, there are mass transit systems in place. But if you live in the medium to small size cities, then you might be in for an adventure. I know for example in my small beach town in Florida, it takes me twenty minutes to drive to Daytona, but if I want to use public transportation, I would have to take 4 buses and it would take me 2 and 1/2 hours one way. Now I don’t know of too many people that have 4 hours to spare in their day.
In Europe, public transportation is number one. The price of gasoline in Europe is about double the price we pay, and it’s been like that for years. And so they have learned to make transportation a priority. If you’ve ever been in England you’ll notice that London Garages are very popular. People would rather leave their cars in the garage and take a bus or a train, one because it’s cheaper and two because it’s more efficient. Like Europe, we need to step up public transportation. As cities make it easier and cheaper for people to get around, people realize the advantages of using public transportation and will start leaving their cars at home.
The use of public transportation, will not only diminish our dependence on oil, but also help the environment by taking more cars off the road. If you are one of the lucky ones to have it available to you try it out, you’ll not only be helping your pocketbook but also your stress level.

I completely agree. Having lived in Europe for a number of years, I LOVE their transportation system. It’s second to none!
