On Wed, 01 Feb 2006 21:30:15 -0800, Scott en Aztl‡n My issue is more with the billions of dollars spent on inefficient mbutt transit for some areas, combined...

Then the solution is obvious. ;)

Remember, this is sunny SoCal - you should be able to bike most of the time, and then ride the train or drive the rest.

I used to travel to Tucson regularly. I'd leave OC on Friday night (I had to wait until after 7 PM; if I left any earlier, I would not arrive any sooner because I'd spend more time mired in traffic) and come back on Sunday night. There were predictable points where I would *always* find a backup - like where the NB carpool lane ends.

Try coming west on I-8; traffic is pretty heavy along that route, as well. ;)

Hehe yup! You can always tell when you've crossed over into LA county, because the freeway narrows from 6 lanes down to a ridiculous 3. The 405 is wider, but had more traffic because everyone knows it's a better road. Oh, and just TRY to go north on the 405 from the Irvine area before 8 PM on a workday or on any weekend afternoon. ;)

The 22 sucked when I used to take it; it's being widened now, so it probably sucks even more now. It will be interesting to see whether congestion eases any when they finally finish it.

The problem is not people buyng the technology, people are already buying similar technology when it is offered on cars. The problems is...

No-rent condos? Fascinating... I suppose that's supposed to keep the property values up or something?

;) Obviously the shoes I described don't fit your feet. ;)

However, there are quite a few people who put absolutely no thought into selecting a home near transit, and then use lack of convenience as an excuse for not using transit. -- What the heck, I'll play too. - Dave

Cars and trucks frequently travel I-15 at 65(+) mph 5'-10'-15' apart. Nobody is interested in saving time, their goal is to drive faster...
