I wish we had public transport here. If we wanted to move into Omaha we would have it, but out here there is none and it sucks.

I took the train everyday when I lived in Chicago. Be crazy not to do so. I could walk one block west, get on the train and get off in the basement of the building where I worked in about 15 minutes.
Or
I could shovel snow for 3 hours to get from my garage to the street, get on Lake Shore (one block east of my house) and spend 40 minutes driving thru horrible traffic at 15mph to get downtown, then spend 30 more minutes getting to my parking spot (which cost 600 bucks a month) then walk two more blocks to my building.
Sadly, where I live now has no public transportation, but then....it has no public to speak of. You can drive for 20 miles without seeing a house.

Yes I look forward to spending 90 minutes in transit time one way that will replace my straight shot if I were driving 13 miles over the mountain to my office and arriving an hour and a half late each morning because the ONLY bus route that I don't have to drive to (and just walk 1.2 miles to instead) ONLY runs twice per day, once when it picks me up at 8:02 am (if it's running on time, which it is notorious for NOT doing) and drops me off at work at 9:24 (if it's running on time, which it is notorious for NOT doing) after it goes halfway around the rest of the county.
Also I look forward to telling my employer that I have to leave an hour early too because that same bus route also leaves my employer's location at 4pm and gets me back home at 5:30 at which point I have to walk another 1.2 miles to home.
I especially look forward to this commute when it's snowing and sleeting and just generally sihtty weather from November to mid March each year.
I suppose an alternative I could embrace would be riding my bike up and over the mountain and arriving at work sweating like a hog or after dealing with snow, ice, and other random weather hazards, and finding a place to shower at work and change clothes in the morning. It will be a special treat to repeat that trip in reverse up and over the mountain again in the afternoon on my bike, only to arrive home again needing a shower before I cook dinner.

Mass transit is not being advocated for areas where there are no masses to take advantage of it.

high gas prices is also making locally produced goods cheaper to buy.

Silly me. See I thought that PUBLIC transportation was being advocated as mandatory, and given that I am part of the PUBLIC, I foolishly assumed this meant me too...
Oh and also, I look forward to hauling 5 or 6 guns and several hundred rounds of ammo to the range on a bus when I want to go shooting every weekend as well...
