Many cities, especially the San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange County areas, were designed and built for cars. The cities are way too spread out to make public transportation feasible on a large scale. Local buses work OK, but longer distance transportation doesn't make much sense.

Public transit is a great way to lower our dependency on foreign oil. Europe has figured out the public transit problem, why can't California?

I work for MTS, the public transit company -- and let me tell you, everyone there is so frustrated, so frustrated with the Gov. There's no way for us to improve the service and create better rail service for our children with him constantly cutting our funds to fix the deficit. On the table right now is a proposal to completely stop public transportation funding from the state. Stop it -- and never restart it when the economy changes. That's billions, but specifically $14 million for San Diego and some for north county too. It's so frustrating. I can't even tell you!! Hi Jason — I am you sis’s friend Kate’s friend.

Where does it all go? I'm sure some of it goes to pay for healthcare for all the illegal immigrants. What does California do for its taxpayers that Texas doesn't? Texas has no state income tax.
