The other night we were driving cross town at eight in the evening on the 5 lane free way and there was queues. At eight?! This is just so far from quality of life.
We where two in the car and therefore we could use the luxury lane, it was much faster but still not completely free. But sitting there I started looking on the other cars in the other lanes and they were only carrying one passenger, almost exclusively, there was the odd car pulling off the freeway traveling through the other lanes with more than one human in them but most cars out there, more than most, close to all cars are used as a single person transportation. This is sick. What we need is a transportation system with smaller footprint per person, flexible enough to take you over vast distances and it has to be quite fast. I think there might be a need for a cultural change to have people leave their cars, let go of the ice-rink and get into the game so to speak. Gas prices being so low is one incentive to use. I have not tried using what ever transportation system they have in place so I can't say anything about the effectiveness of it.
