Russ, good point, when I was in NYC, and A few other major cities across the world it was great! Chicago, SF/Oakland, Washington DC, Budapest, and Vienna.
But, in the West, so to speak it just dont work!

Kansas City Metro.
We have the ATA Bus system and to few use it.
I cannot for many reasons:
1. Own business
2. Doesnt go by the bank or store.
3. Doesnt come by the House.
4. Our major roads are 1 mile apart.
Remember people in NYC dont have cars, rental space for cars is high.
Out side the City is cheaper than driving into Manhattan and renting parking spaces! Maybe like a lot of Major Cities?
I drive now, 5 Miles a day to and from store

Thank goodness!
