BTW, any votes for the best public transit systems in US cities? I know compared to many European and Asian cities the US systems suck, but some are better than others. For example: * Chicago can be a little seedy, but it's great for getting from the airports downtown. A trip is about $1.50 I think where as a cab will cost $40 and a car $60 * Washington DC has an awesome system - super clean, easy to use, and cheap. * BART - I'll let you know, but it used to be inbetween Chicago and DC, IMO. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Captivate from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=52 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:149621 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
