With the new MBTA fare hikes, it seems there is a desire make it more economically advantageous to buy a cheap used smog-belching car that otherwise would be heading to the junkyard than take public transit. This is because liberal Massachusetts is so concerned about fossil fuel use and air pollution.

You could maybe set up a carpool. I heard that STL used to have a trolley system until Ford moved in and bought them out. What is the reasoning for the fare hikes?
Also, wouldn't it be cool if cities had a monorail sytem like Disney World does? Electrically powered with multiple stops?
