    A two hour commute in an electric car is still two hours in crushing, soul destroying traffic. People ask me why I take a train and a freeway bus for my two days on campus, and I ask them why not? My drive is three minutes from my house to the train.

    But in suburban Southern California, public transit is “for freaks and losers.” That was deliberate marketing.

      It just sucks if 10 minutes by car/a little more by bike become 45 minutes by public transit, once an hour until 8pm.

        thats a little overexaggerating, at most its takes twice as long depending on which bus and route you are taking.
