MARTA, BART, The "L", The "F" From Brooklyn To Queens, Noordholland Spoorwagons, ANYTHING

Granted, I own a mini-van, so part of this is my own fault.

But I filled up the tank yesterday to the tune of $50.53 and $2.18 per gallon. And I haven't paid for repairs or upkeep or insurance or anything else car related.

If I'm not mistaken, one tank of gasoline for one vehicle is roughly the cost of a month-long subway pass in New York City.

Why are we so in love with our cars despite their enslaving tendencies and why does our community overwhelmingly vote against public transportation proposals?
