That's funny, I thought he was Mr. Automobile. I mean, isn't he the mayor with a Transportation Deputy that drives a Hummer? Isn't he the mayor who touted his "Tiger Team" to eliminate on-street parking, widen streets, and sychronize street lights - all in order to speed up automobiles? Isn't he the mayor who brought appointed Gloria Jeff in order to secure more federal highway construction dollars for the city? This guy, it appears, doesn't give a crap about anyone not driving a private automobile. All of a sudden he is concerned about bus riders? Yeah, right. L.A.’s mayor cares about transit ridership?

Is not like we have a lot of extra public transit dollars laying about.
