My job in the tourism industry allows me to interact with international and national journalists. Their number gripe is we don't have mass transit. Having traveled to Germany, England, Japan and major U.S. cities, I agree. Getting around in foreign nations and large cities is so much easier with mass transit. More over, $3 + a gallon for gas, the public should be pounding the doors down of our leaders demanding transit. We should look to the cities of Munich and Innsbrooke with their very clean and simple above ground eletric powered trolley/train systems. Plus the Washington DC Metro system that goes out in the bedroom communites of Maryland and Virgina. If a federal cities and two states can make it work, eight counties in the same state surely can!
