[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's this really pernicious and kind of ridiculous idea in the city government that, if they make driving unpleasant enough, then people will give up their cars and turn to bikes or buses or whatnot. Um, that's not going to happen. Ever. You might as well be trying to encourage people to take pogo sticks to work. People will just avoid the parts of the city where it's too hard to get around. Or vote out the politicians who are trying to make traffic worse. [/quote] The response seems to be "just use public transit." Except that Metro is in a death spiral, and no one seems to know how to fix it.[/quote] There seems to be a willful, collective ignorance right now regarding Metro's disastrous ridership and financial condition. The only way to fix it may very well be to force people ride metro... at least the rail part.[/quote]
