The Public Transportation Failure
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
"Take public transportation and save the environment," scream the
|
|
tree-hugging hippies. The streets in San Francisco are a fucking nightmare
|
|
to drive on, and seven of the ten most-busiest freeways in the world are
|
|
in Los Angeles, according to press reports. Neither city has any parking
|
|
to speak of.
|
|
|
|
I recently got my drivers license back after several years of not having
|
|
one (I didn't have a car, so why bother) and bought a new car. I went
|
|
through all of this because of public transportation. Now, in San Francisco,
|
|
we have BART, an acronym for Bay Area Rapid Transit, which is a sort of
|
|
subway train system that runs from 6:00 a.m. until Midnight, and runs the
|
|
majority of the greater Bay Area. But, what do you do when you want to go
|
|
clubbing, and the trains stop at Midnight? Shit, you usually don't even
|
|
get there until Midnight. Then there are the areas BART doesn't serve,
|
|
because the tree-hugging hippies complain about the environmental damage
|
|
it causes. Aren't these the same idiots that are screaming for us to use
|
|
public transportation? Then we had the strike, which shut down BART and
|
|
left me stranded fifty miles from the airport just prior to a flight. That
|
|
was one very expensive cab ride; if you can get a cab in San Francisco.
|
|
|
|
The bus system is a joke, with three different and competing transit
|
|
systems which all cross paths, but rarely connect to one another. Unless
|
|
you live near one line that also happens to take you directly to your
|
|
destination, forget about taking the bus. And I am still trying to figure
|
|
out the ferry system. Ten bucks for a ride across the bay?
|
|
|
|
Them we have Los Angeles, what locals call the "car city." The city is
|
|
spread over such a large area that, basically, if you don't have a car,
|
|
you are fucked and are going to spend a lot of boring nights at home with
|
|
nothing to do because you can't get anywhere. We have MetroLink here, but
|
|
that is a commuter train run by Amtrak that has limited stops in Southern
|
|
California. My experience with it has sucked. Nice trains, poor selection
|
|
of stops. The closest stop MetroLink stop to my apartment is about 20
|
|
miles away.
|
|
|
|
Don't even start with the bus system here in Los Angeles. How much
|
|
fucking crack were these city planners smoking? Several hundreds of busses
|
|
transverse this city, and you can't go a fucking single place without
|
|
making several transfers. When I use to take the buses to college, it
|
|
would take almost three hours with four transfers and cost almost eight
|
|
dollars for what would have been a thirty minute drive if I had a car.
|
|
|
|
So what do we do? We drive a car. And we don't carpool, as evidenced by
|
|
the empty carpool lanes on the freeways while all the other lanes are at a
|
|
standstill. It's still the fastest, most convenient, and cheapest way to
|
|
get from point A to point B, despite everything else the tree-hugging
|
|
hippies say.
|
|
|
|
Yeah, give me a fucking bus pass, you idiots!
