Spot On! I look at it as would anyone ride the things if they paid what it costs to provide.
The obvious answer is NO!

Actually, I might ride if it allowed me to shorten my workday--not that that’s the case, but if it by some chance DID, I might.
The thing that’s scary to me is that it doesn’t even seem to be a win environmentally--all of the possible gains of economies of scale are thrown away when you consider the reality of running buses the “wrong way” in rush hour (gotta do it to get them back for the next round of commuters) and running buses not during rush hour.
At least my pickup has the good sense to stay put when I’m not driving it! :^)

Transit isn’t about the environment. It’s about government, and it’s about control.
I was going to take the bus to work today, but I didn’t want to be a Communist.
