Transit Will Only Slow Us Down

by Tony Chavira

Why bother putting together an efficient public transit system when you can already drive around Los Angeles like this?

The rest of the country doesn't really understand that the biggest perk of living in Los Angeles is that I get to drive my Trans-Am at 100 miles per hour every day to and from work.  Sometimes I stop at red lights just to rev my engine and insult the masculinity of the guy in the riced-out Honda next to me.  But if he's going to be a little bitch and sound off that high-pitched, whiny engine, someone's got to put him in his place. 

So let's do some laps around City hall and tell them that instead of lightrail, Measure R should install guardrails and catch fences on all city streets.  Oh, and more water barrels at intersections.

I’m disappointed that Crazy Taxi was not mentioned in this article.
