I don't have to go to the transit planning meetings to know what is and is not possible based simply on the distance invovled and how public transportation operates. > Most people are not suicidal and would rather not dodge Californian drivers > while lane splitting, Uh, nice generalization there.

Amazingly enough motorcycles are considered HOV and can get into the diamond lane. Nice smooth sailing at over 65mph, no lane splitting and unlike a bus, no stopping. > Given traffic doesn't move faster than what you say public transit > does anyway, why not throw a lot more high capacity vehicles in the mix to > pick up people while they're stuck stopped in traffic anyway? Given that you're making that stat up. I lived for 3 years in the LA metro area and know how often I was going less than 14mph, practically never. Even when I took my /car/ to work and didn't have access to the diamond lane I didn't take much longer than with the bike. On those days I attributed it more to the rain than the volume of traffic. -- Steve Lamb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
