Lawmakers cutting mass transit are as guilty as BP in the Gulf (tags)
Has anyone stopped driving because of what's happening to the Gulf of Mexico? How many are free to choose, even if they would? The U.S.A.'s stupid stimulus funds went to build freeways while mass transit was cut back and fares were raised all over the country. Every federal legislator behind the stimulus freeway building spree should be held responsible for the death of the Gulf Coast, as much or more than British Petroleum. Even now, the cuts to mass transit continue, as the oil volcano erupts with no end in sight.

Bus riders on the back of the stimulus bus (tags)
Highway and bridge lobbyists trumped mass transit riders in the final stimulus bill. Our MTA and other transit authorities around the country seem to be in line for token stimulus funds, but only to fund new building projects; there's nothing for immediate operating support to stave off fare hikes, service cuts, and job lay-offs.
