[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with the widen-highway vs. expand-transit argument is that the majority of the opponents of highway widening would never take even mass transit. They says "expand bus rapid transit" and "improve metro," but when push comes to shove, they wouldn't use it to commute or run errands, etc. Opponents of highway widening are hypocrites: they want everyone else to use public transit but not themselves - they love being in their own cars. They are just another form of NIMBYs.[/quote] People generally choose to drive when driving is more convenient than transit. This doesn't make people hypocrites. It makes people people. Want people to take transit? Stop making driving more convenient, and start making transit more convenient. -opponent of highway widening who drives, rides the train/bus/Metro, bikes, and walks for transportation[/quote]
