In Europe, they have better transit, and
is reasonable. In 2001 the Metro in Paris costs about .75 Euro to
go anywhere in the major metropolitan area of Paris.

"Costs" is not the accurate term. "Charges" is correct. There are
massive taxpayer subsidies of every mass transit system in the world.

The lie that mass transit "costs" "only" fill in the fare the rider
pays here is nothing more than that: a lie.

I do not say the ticket charges were xxx, I say the ticket cost me
xxx. Semantics.

Semantics don't pay the bills :-)

BART, the SF
Bay area mass transit, has a strike or threatened strike every time
the contract comes up for renewal. So a train driver, or station
agent is making $80k + benefits. GED required. Most of the
taxpayers, think they should be fired if they strike. Just like the
air traffic controllers.

Absolutely.

They do for Michael Criton, et al.
