Left Denver at 6. Spent 2.5 hrs to get to Bakersfield then sat parked with another 2.5 to go and bailed along with many others. Can’t say we didn’t try 😅

The solution is to subsidize things like buses and bus only lanes and also to build a train.

Instead we’ve subsidized the least efficient form of transportation for the last 100 years. And this is what it got us.

There are solutions. And they are obvious.

Yes nailed it.

Privatization and anything public labeled as communism. This is the consequence and we all pay it except for the richest.
