As long as they get there, that should be all that matters. Why should they have their motor vehicles subsidized? They can pay it out of their salary like everyone else.
We need to move away from the mentality of just building more roads and highways. Traffic will just get worse and worse. Freeways just tend to lead to decay, with people throwing their trash by the roadside, leaving tires behind, and eventually the plants in the median are dead. The density is there for more public transit (I'd favor the trolley, it's cleaner and less prone to delays than the bus), the political will is what's lacking.
Good analysis, Greg, I am overjoyed and fearful that you may be right. The shortage will propel us forward scientifically and environmentally, yet it will have an economic toll of some sort
Complete despair? Atheism offers the same things as existentialism, the chance to take responsibility for oneself and see ourselves as independent agents.

Sometimes there can be delays, especially at the SDSU station because of the large pileup of students. Hope they will take that into consideration. Anyhow, anything that gets people riding transit is a good thing, especially if they become long-term riders and help legitimize it as real mode of transport.
