All I can say is really about the article in Seattle? You must come here and get stuck in traffic. Our transit system is a joke, and a little too late. We have light rail now but people are not giving up their cars. The city created the traffic problem and has done little to fix it, a LOT too late. Try getting to work on a bus that is stuck in traffic or goes down a one lane road for miles in the busiest part of the city. Try riding a bus stuck in traffic because a 4 lane road is now a 2 lane road. Light rail doesn’t go everywhere. The people that drive will always drive unless the roads are closed to them. Seattle is a mess!
