If people don't try to stupidly force trains upon everyone, even if the population density doesn't warrant it, i'd bet motorcycles/scooters/bikes are definitely the future.

I ride a small motorcycle, and it is incredible.

Driverless cars, although it sounds weird, might also be very effective.

the same magnetic principle pushing the atoms in the LHC will likely push driverless cars in public transit.

personal transit is a different story, there's no precedent for folks choosing an efficient machine over the XL Hummer which they actually want.

Massachusetts drivers

Better than fucking rhode island drivers, or any out of state fucking drivers who drive 10 miles under the fucking speed limit.

i was born and raised in RI and have sence moved to VA. i have to say yes RI drivers can be pretty bad, but the people down here in VA and NC have no idea what a directional light is, nor where the exit they are looking for is cause i see more people cut across 2-3 lanes of traffic at the last minute just to get to the off ramp they need.

Why the fuck is traffic the worst only when your in a rush =|

Posting from my phone..... In traffic.

You live on the East Coast. Doesn't honking your horn incessantly work? It's like an accelerator for your mind.

holy shit yes. i40 is the worst because people will go 95mph and cut across 4 lanes of traffic at rush hour. even in normal city driving people have a tendency to have the attitude that they own the road:

Turning involves completely stopping and then completing the turn.

Riding down the turn lanes to get to your turn half a mile away or more.

Running red lights. I'm not talking "I want to beat this light!" but more like "fuck this, even though the other direction is green I'm going to floor it."

Not yielding when making u-turns. Apparently the left arrow is free reign on moving about in your oversized vehicle.

Talking on cell phones. I can count a string of 30 drivers on cell phones before I see a driver not on a cell phone, during rush hour.


These are universal, sure, but at the rate I see accidents, it's ridiculous

I was catching a nap about 4 years ago, and woke up to the show "The States" on the History Channel, during the segment on RI.

verbatum "the natives of cozy east coast state have been nationally rated as the worst drivers in the country"

I believe it, azeth. People are too wound up and the population too concentrated. No one pays attention and everyone is in a rush because they can't plan ahead.
