We have no streetcars, no busses, no light rail, subzero winters, and Mrs. Joe will give up her '78 Lincoln when they pry it from her cold, dead, hands.

Is any public transit system in the country self supporting? In KCMO, they're going to be shutting down a number of routes, and reduce the number of buses on others, because they're simply too expensive to keep going.

We do have a couple of taxi cabs in the nearest town(biggest town for 120 miles, about 17,000 with oil 'boom' growth), but I think those are funded partly by the city (I know they were when things were slow in the oil patch).

Keep in mind that is a somewhat private venture, and not strictly public transportation.

I have bought ten-speeds at garage sales for less than the price of a single 5 mile cab ride, too...
