I lived in the San Diego area in the 80's. It's was nuts back then, so I can only imagine what it's like today.

Put it this way: From 6:30-9AM, 5 south is usually stop-and-go from La Costa all the way down to the 5/805 split. 4:30-7PM, 5 north slows to a crawl around Genesee and doesn't really let up until you get to Carlsbad. Don't even ask about 15. Meanwhile, our TransNet tax dollars are spent building light rail which no one will use from the coast to Escondido.

Insane, isn't it? Our socialist Mayor out here in Madison is enthralled with light rail and trains and street cars. He's railroading (pun intended) all of these types of transport through in our city at taxpayer expense to "save the environment" and yet, he can't get people to use the friggin' bus system to full capacity, all the while paying some bus drivers in our city (with perks and overtime) $100K a year plus benefits! A bus driver!

Seems I can't escape stupidity no matter where I move, LOL!
