"I would say it was a little more crowded than normal," said Homa Hashemi of Buena Park. "You can tell on the days where the gas prices are higher, people start taking the train more often." Misery loves company.

This gives Eric Holder's childrrruuunnn better access to "Knockout King" targets.
It is racist to deny Eric Holder's childrrruuunnn their little pleasures.

Sure kills the auto market now doesn’t it? Obamagabe yacks about saving the car industry then turns around and yacks about mass transit is the solution. And don’t forget about living in the ‘burbs.

>>Metrolink says Southern Californians are packing mass transit lines. They have reported a definite increase in ridership, even posting a record of nearly 23,000 riders this weekend.
23,000 riders in a metro area of almost 18 million is a rounding error. Mass transit in SoCal is a joke, a very expensive and non-economically-sound one.

It would be racist to allow targets to defend themselves.

kalifornia has to gouge gas prices to force the sheep to accept their high speed train boondoggler. The irony in CA is that until the late 1950's, there were buses and trains well established, running every where.

Zero’s energy czar wants the price to hit $8.00/gallon. The czar had to walk that statement back several months ago.

Were going to put affordable housing next to walking paths and biking paths, LaHood said, amid cheers. Ive been all over America and . . . Ive been very proud to talk about the fact people do want alternatives. Youll never guess what that alternative is. They want to get out of their cars, he said...

Buses were pretty much put out of business by people in independent cars and low gas prices. The government wants to make us ride the buses to gain control over us.

Where are they going to come up the money to build a gigantic mass transit system?
