I thoroughly enjoyed Boston as well when I visited. The commuter rails saved so much time!

The car market is incredibly lucrative and it’s understandable, but I agree that there should be increased public transportation as well. The more we become dependable on cars, the less common ground we have when it comes to transportation. People care less about getting around when they see their car as the only answer. Trains, buses and other ways can save time, money, and benefit the environment. It’s a slippery slope as well because of the tax side of it. Tampa just introduced a 30 year, 1% sales tax raise to create a transportation system that is “safe, reliable, and equitable”. This proposition happened to get denied during mid terms in November.
