I love living in a city with a clean, efficient subway, where I can comfortably kick back, cross my legs, read the paper and safely text all I want. I say, instead of making states lose 25% of their highway money, mandate that they SPEND that 25% on transit. Or maybe institute a Text-and-Trade system, where you buy credits that will allow you to text behind the wheel, and all those revenues go into transit operating assistance and New Starts grants. I'm being whimsical, of course. Sigh. I love living in a city with a clean, efficient subway, where I can comfortably kick back, cross my legs, read the paper and safely text all I want.
