Who says Americans won't ride mass transit?

With gas prices through the roof, our car-crazy nation showed the love for buses and trains. But there's a glitch.

    I love BART

    ..so much. My only complaint is that there isn't enough of it. It doesn't go down to San Jose.. It doesn't extend through the peninsula. Caltrain is total crap.

    If the BART folks raise prices, that's too bad and all.. but a 100% self-sufficient light rail in the bay area with higher prices would be better than this endless griping over how funding has been removed. And it'd still be cheaper than driving, when all costs are taken into account.
