Gas Prices

[Laufen]

You also believe the 'cost' is simply the amount of the fare. I get it.

I don't mind paying for benefits. I don't expect to be given something nice free of charge. Would I pay more in taxes for it...hell yes I would. I'm not looking for a handout. Quality of life is worth something to me, and frankly it's worth more to me than a few more dollars in the bank account.

Surely she doesn't take Marta alone.

Of course not silly. He's talking about a NICE place to live with enlightened inhabitants... in other words a place that's anywhere but the United States.

Portland's TriMet and Max light rail are great examples of a decent American system at work....and profitable.

But who built (paid), owns, and runs them?

Thankful to whom?

I'm thankful I don't have to drive. Thankful to me for putting myself in a position where I don't have to fight traffic. The traffic you dearly love.

Of course you are. Everytime you ride public transportation you ARE taking a handout. Unless you pay a heck of a lot more than the fare price.

Taxes, subsidies and fares. Do you expect something for nothing? I don't. What are you some kind of Obama phone user? Put your EBT card down and get back to work hippy.

There you go again.

Would you put your kid on MARTA alone?

There you go with your weak ass dichotomies again.

Why not? Are you saying that mass transit in an urban area is dangerous? What are you afraid of?

LOL !
