Oil is not going to be cheap again. The private auto and it's companion sprawl are no longer sustainable.
Cities that recognize this will be reducing car-dependency and the ones that don't will be chained in infrastructure servitude. There will be a race to the top. Who can first reduce the waste.
Every dollar your city spends on parking lots and such is an investment in the past, and a lost opportunity in the race to the future.
Now is the time to act. By becoming a bold free-transit advocate, you will be providing breathing space for the timid public transport advocates. At your local civic group bring up the idea. Remember, free is cheaper.
