Idea to send:	Topic Public Transportation Content I am all for improved bus systems, light rail, incentives to businesses to encourage their employees to use public transportation, and improved integration of bike lanes into streets. Here are a few things that would make these sorts of efforts useful: • Less money spent on maintaining roads • Fewer traffic fatalities • Increased mobility for lower income families • More walking equates to more exercise which equates to lower instances of obesity • If people walk more, use public transportation more, then we can expect to see actual neighborhoods again, where people visit the grocery on the corner, instead of Wal-Mart • Lower levels of pollution amounts to fewer ozone alert days and better general health • More money will be introduced into the economy as most people no longer need to spend 1/3 of their income on their own automobiles Public transportation is a good thing.
