OW,

Right, it is a breeze for those who are willing to not rely on a car to get to and from the BART stations. Yeah, it's funny how the middle and upper classes don't want to resign themselves to public transit. An observer has to assume they prefer gridlock, cuz that's the obvious consequence.

Hankster,

If you're handicapped I apologize in advance. It ain't about what we desire for transit. I desire a chaffeur driven Bentley to take me to and from work, but that ain't a happenin' thing either. I know a guy who works as a logger, and instead of riding in the jitney with the other loggers to the work site from the road parking area (typically 4-6 miles of logging road) he rides his moutain bike and then operates machinery and loads trucks all day, rides back to his car, and then joins us for a 30 mile road bike training ride twice a week in spring and summer. I'm saying the bike commute would more likely extend your life. Fortunately you moved into the city. Otherwise you could do as most commuters do, just b!tch about it, cuz traffic will get worse and not better.
