I love being able to catch the train to downtown and not having to think about parking or if my car might be abused in a garage. I can spend 3 or 4 bucks round trip on the train/bus and not have to think about where to park or the $10 to $12 for parking downtown.

It just makes so much more sense. I'm glad I live in a city with really good public transportation. Portland, OR.

I'm guessing 1957 is when they started keeping detailed records of ridership numbers nxylas Mar 2012 #5
