Funny, I rode a bus just a month or two ago. It was on time, but of course, 30 minutes slower than an equilvelent car, dirty as heck, and a particularly pugnant/dirty hobo was boarding on it halfway to my stop. Yeah I dont think I want better public transport.

European mas transit is phenomenal. At least in Germany and the part of France and Austria I went to. Spent most of my time on German trains and busses because I lived there and you could set your watch to their schedule. Clean, punctual, fast. Coming back to the States was a big letdown on several levels when it came to stuff like that and the restaurant experience.
