I am addicted to public transportation. Where I live, it is alot better then driving. I live outside of Washington DC, and there is so much traffic. The local busses are nice because the air conditioning is so cold that you feel like you are in a freezer. You can ride the bus for 75¢, or burn a few gallons of gas, and waste $10. If more people rode busses, then we would reduce the demand for oil, thus making it cheaper. I could honestly care less if people want to drive around in their big hummer. But, if you think gas is too expensive then ride the bus, or metro. I actually recently bought a RFID-embedded smart card for the metro. It is pretty cool, because I don't have to bother with putting the paper ticket in the machine. And, the RFID receiver is positioned in such a way that I can leave the smart card in my pocket, and just put my hip up to the receiver.
