There's your market force. . .
And as soon as you did that, you are involving the government again. Once again, think Rumplestiltskin. So, if they had to buy new cars, you going to pay the difference? Your cool public transportation going to be a replacement for our cars? How? For daily to and fro in the city, maybe. However, many folks also commute. How cool would that be? Been there, done that. With some of the routes in Madison, it takes me 2 hours to get to the other side of town whereas I can do it in 15 mins in my car.
