Today is National Train Day, which is pretty cool, but makes little sense having a day to celebrate and encourage the use of public transportation on a Saturday.

But still... it is pretty cool. And we should be using public transportation more. Because it is actually fun. And easy. And convenient. And cheaper. And faster. And more efficient. And more environmentally friendly.

And on that note, it looks like public transit usage is up! This is explained due to the high price of gas. Which, of course, would lead some to believe (i.e. me) that we should raise gas prices more in order to fund a high quality public transit system.

But that is just one reason why I won't be running for President any time soon. :)
