NashTransit

MSNBC has put together an interesting analysis of nationwide trends in driving and public transportation use. In some cities, transit authorities are actually having trouble just keeping up with increased demand.

One interesting point the article brings up - as public transportation use rises, fewer people drive cars - meaning less gas tax revenue for the government. So maybe it isn't a very good idea to tie gas taxes to public transit? Perhaps Charlotte has the right idea.
