| When I said transit I mean mass transit. Most people do not refer to roads as transit even though they are part of your transportation network. |

| Sure, and I'm just saying there's the rational impulse to tax cars to death and then enjoy the fruits of a mass transit network. The way we have things set up now doesn't make any sense to begin with—almost like we're taxing our economic centers for existing. |
