My last point is that you are only at the "mercy" of a PT system, if it is badly conceived. And you need a well conceived PT system not be at the mercy of the car.

Sucre you are always at the mercy of the schedule of the PT system even if it is well concieved. You are also at the mercy of the unions which most of the employees belong to. You seem to be under the impression I am against the development of a PT system, and that is not the case. I just prefer not to have to rely on it myself is all. As far as being at the nercy of the car I am not sure what you mean. It is an object that only I control. I put the key in it and it takes me where I direct it to take me, either by the fastest route or by the most scenic route whichever I am in the mood for. I am not reliant on when it decides it will run, it always runs when I want it to nor am I at the mercy of some operator and city that can't seem to get their respective idea of a good wage or benefit package in sync with each other.
