Having read all the posts in response to this point I see one major reason for the failure of the mass transit not mentioned, and that is people don’t feel comfortable riding with people they don’t know, people whose hygiene seems lacking, and people whom seem odd to them. Not everybody is adventurous with their lives, and think riding such platforms is an invitation to a near death experience, or at least one that could be harmful to ones health.
We at FR aren’t the only ones reading about the TB, Hep, and other horrible diseases returning to our once healthy Nation. Public transportation is looked upon with disdain due many of the sorts that occupy the seats.
I know I’m going to get some flack from some that are compelled to use the services of the public transportation system, but truth is truth. It is unhealthy, and can be dangerous in todays society, and mainly thanks to Democrats.
I’m with you 100%.
