American Dream

For those of you who want to know what transport Nirvana will be like, there is a presentation on what is reportedly a Sierra Club Toronto website. I look forward to the day that transit + station cars gets me places faster than my car --- Not so much for the transport benefits, but for the fact that the Israelis and Arabs will have long since enjoyed cordial relations and our friends George and Osama will be regular dinner buddies.

It should also be noted that the Club's inclusion of "station cars" (collective non-auto autos that take you from where transit leaves you off to where you need to go) represents an admission that the modern urban area is auto-dependent (at least "station car" dependent). In Toronto, of course, most trips would require station cars at both ends of the trip, since most trips simply cannot be made on transit (suburban transit users are little better off in Toronto than in Phoenix).
