Here in limerick (which is a small city) I think the transportation is great- when in reality its just OK. but end of the day- you can get where you need to go when you need to get there with no car. try doing that almost anywhere in america? not happening. A lot of people who have never really been to the states (new york city doesnt count!!) dont seem to realize why we need cars!rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385817990235633378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725269508908062040.post-7103111285677164902011-02-25T22:11:35.780+00:002011-02-25T22:11:35.780+00:00dude. this is all so true. i have to drive an ho...dude. this is all so true. i have to drive an hour each way to work (11 miles takes an hour in los angeles -- just shoot me). gas is expensive here, but still relatively cheap. the u.s. transportation system is NOT what it should be. we are so reliant on cars. and mass transit really doesn't exist in la. it is one of my biggest gripes, as my life is being wasted away in traffic.
