An Idea For A Better Road
And also a greener planet.
Everyone takes public transit. Sounds a little stupid at first, but bear with me.
If there were no cars on the road and just buses, then the emissions into the atmosphere would be lower. How much is arguable, but undeniably it would shrink. Also, a bus pass is what, $10-$30 a month? I guarantee that will be less money than a month's gas. Third, if every vehicle on the road is a scheduled bus that can communicate with other scheduled buses, I'd say the number of collisions will shrink fairly notably. Fourth, the jog to and from bus stops will be healthy for you, and when as many Americans as are nowadays are overweight, this is a lot bigger than it sounds. I'm not saying everyone should sell their cars. There are some people who live far from any bus station, bus stop or bus depot who should keep a car or two. But for the rest of us I really think that a mass switch to public transit would be a good thing.
