Sorry, I forgot to put a :^) after my comment. With gas on its way to $4.00/gallon, Im all for mass transit of any kind. Sorry I didn't catch it. Gas is over $7 a gallon in Germany, and don't forget that driving high-speed can use over twice the gas as going around 60.
I don’t live in or drive in Germany. Anyone who does, should be able to afford it. I’m sure driving is a privilege there just as it is here.
