Obama on Mass Transit

This if from the Charlotte Observer

Q: Charlotte just opened a new light-rail line. How do you feel about federal support for mass transit?

Obama:

I'm a strong supporter, as part of our broader energy strategy. You know, if we are designing cities, and urban communities and suburban communities around two-hour commutes, then we are destined to continue down the course of climate change. And mass transit not only is far more environmentally sound, but with oil prices sky high, and not likely to go down significantly, because of increased demand by China and India, it gives individuals much more of an incentive to look at trains and mass transit as an alternative.

New Post on Megabus

Over at Joe Frank's blog, Ramblings by Joe Frank, there is an interesting post on Megabus adding service to Columbia, Missouri. Click here to go to the site. I posted in May on a trip I took from St. Louis to Kansas City and back over the Memorial Day weekend.
