Heh! It is quite clear you don't live in Houston.<G> For me it would work out: Car: 40 minutes (realistically, probably over an hour) Train: N/A Tram: N/A Bus: 60 minutes Bicycle: 2+ hours Then too, I've been in suburb to suburb commutes that would take 50 minutes by car, but 2 1/2 hours by bus and the busses didn't start running early enough for me to make it to work on time. I like public transportation and use it when it is available. But Houston is way over 600 ^2 miles and has multiple "downtown-like" areas, so public transportation is a difficult and expensive proposition here. Even in very good public transportation systems not all areas are served equally. xponent Driving These Days Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
