another one rides the bus

Hey, where'd all these people come from? Johnny-come-latelies, riding the bus and trains now that gas is approaching $4 a gallon. Thanks a lot, oil prices - now I'll never get a seat.

Still it's a good thing. Anyway, there must be something wrong with gas prices if at hitting this level they provoke a change like this in mass transit use.

Because gas prices should be $8 a gallon and far more of us should be on the train or bus or bike.
