    People won’t start complaining until the price of gas reaches $8 a gallon.

    @ Dan -
    Sadly, you’re probably mostly right. However I think that the numbers show that transit ridership is already growing, and KC Bike’s Bike Week had record-breaking participation. We’re getting there, I think. People are starting to complain. Maybe they won’t *stop* complaining [about light rail and public transit] until $8/gallon!

    It’s going to take a massive shift in the way we think around here, especially given our excellent road and freeway system, but it’s starting.

    ASU students didn’t appear to be very inpressed with the thought of a $150.00 “jaywalking” ticket. :-) Hopefully, Metro will do a good job with their safety and public awareness campaigns.

    I see that you guys are interested/involved in Public transportation. The Pitch newspaper out of Kansas City recently did a story on light rails and the options for public transportation in a city that has very little. Check it out and tell us what you think at www.pitch.com
