Re: Not even lip service to public transit? (none / 0)

Tenerife is a volcanic island 1/2 the size of Hawaii island and with 5 times the population, and it doesn't have light rail. It does have extensive bus service. According to wikipedia, they are building a tram in Santa Cruz.

Re: Not even lip service to public transit? (none / 0)

Oahu is looking at mass transit, but they have about 900K folks on an island about the same size as ours.

I like mass transit. rode the bus or train every day in London. Only time I took a car for my commute was when I took a cab home after drinking past the last train. L60 can sober you up in a hurry.

You should have tried the Night Buses. All human life is there (and a lot that isn't human, I suspect)
