Then please tell the car drivers to stop hating transit. There's far more of them, and as a greater percentage of all car drivers, too, that want no increases in public transit service or even to get rid of it entirely, than whatever anti-car type you seem to think Dan is.
I'm a car driver, but use transit when there is a convenience for me. [ie. GO train to a sporting event, travelling in a foreign country with good transit infrastructure]
I realize that all those people on transit free up the roadway for me. There is a TV ad (Pretty sure it was posted here in the iON forum, but I'm too lazy to search) that made this point very clear.
I think the automobile and transit can work cohesively.... but as human nature requires, we will always look to others to point out what they have that we don't.
