Who wants this?

Buses are a crap form of transit because they have to fully obey the road. Granted the light rail is still questionable because thry had the bright idea of making it at grade level.
But light rails are generally quiet.

And if you dont want the noise of a big city then you should not live in one.

The riff-raff (of no particular ethnicity, because riff-raff has never been a euphemism for any particular ethnicity as we all quite obviously know and anybody who says otherwise is trolling because their assertions cannot in any way be factually supported) is an issue too.

Riff Raff is everywhere man. Just gotta accept it and deal with it. Thats more of a social issue than transit.

Actually, it was environmental reports, budget and NIMBYs who made the expo at grade level. I'm sure if metro had it's way, it would've been below grade.

But transit is a magnet for weirdos, like the baglady on the #1 Big Blue Bus who sat across the aisle from me and ate soggy Cheerios as she talked to her reflection.

None of those people are ever sitting next to me in my car, creeping me out. BTW, why were deers thrown in there?

Is he referring to reindeer? If anything, a sled flying through the air at low altitude through residential neighborhoods is a lot more dangerous than the typical car.
