William Freedman recently traveled from coast to coast using only public transportation in an effort to show the population the power of mass transit. What did he learn about the public transportation industry?
Freedman: Some findings include: Chihuahua, Mexico has better transit than West Texas! Mexican buses are comparable to U.S. discount airlines – they provide snacks, TV, earbuds, pillows, and get you where you need to go. And I found the agencies that were most helpful to me in Indiana, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, and Kansas.
