I think the public transport takes about that long here. A friend of mine had to ride the bus to work for a while, 20 mile trip, took him like 90 minutes one way. But you do what you have to.

Right now I'm paying $460.50 a week for fuel and we dont have public transportation here were I live....Although there is always other ways to get around friends,family,church and other nonprofit organizations!!!Lets not forget about bicycles, electric scooters and the like...So really if people would just quit using the great machines elixir of life then we really would not have to worry about it now would we...I dont know just my opinion..

The lack of public trans is the main reason Americans are in shock over the gas prices. That and the fact that cheap gas and huge cars have become the de facto religion around here, more so than say, Christianity. Many cities were designed around the family automobile so getting around without one is a serious hardship. It is clearly not a sustainable way of life, but they never tell you that on the Tee Vee. Petro is now about $3.90 today and Americans will soon be pining for the days of under $4 gas. It is unlikely to occur again any time soon if at all.
