I have used mass transit here in Houston. It is expensive and a bit difficult. You cant go anyplace you want in a reasonable amount of time. I have had 2 1/2 hour commutes one way that cost 4 or 5 dollars. That is quite a bit more expensive than driving yourself since most parking is free in Houston. OTOH, the Park'N'Ride bus are comfortable and nice. xponent I Tried Maru rob ________________________________ You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here.
