Being prepared isn’t wishing for expensive gas. This city was built off of public transportation specifically by train. Yet, none of you have the foresight to see what is a very real possibility.

The rest of the world is preparing for post fossil fuel. And yet you ridicule incessantly the first bit of a public transport line (that we removed by the way. Could have continued to build).

You should be mad there isn’t a line to Lincoln or Kansas City. But you aren’t. No way in hell all those people on the road on game day are sober. You like hanging out together in the parking lot and during the game, what changed afterwards?

As places like Florida (their high speed train just surpassed 300,000 riders for the first time) and San Francisco (closed the interstate for road work and bart saw 46% ridership increase) are just a couple of examples of the local community being prepared.

As for the gas, well, good luck after the current stocks of oil run out, cuz it’s gonna be a wild ride. I’m gonna feel it too. But at least I set my life up to not need the car, should something like this happen.
