need money, will travel

So, more Americans are taking public transit, the longstanding romance with cars is waning, even the king of conspicuous consumption is not immune. I thinks it's great that some politicians are supporting transportation, but it's sad to hear that at the same time metro is having some major money woes, especially since ridership has been rising for years. I wouldn't spite metro some more $$ (taxes, fares) - even with the spotty business surrounding the Cross County Extension. I guess we'll see what comes as a result of the June 17-25 Public Hearings on fare changes
