This won't be news to anyone on this forum, but I'll say it anyway just for the first hand info value. Riding the subway every day in New York, my transportation costs have remained exactly the same even though the cost of gas is way up. Having a rail transit system allows people the experience that savings while also guaranteeing that you won't have to drive or sit in heavy traffic on the way to work.

I hope rail systems spring up in cities all across the country in the next few years, and I'd love to see it happen in San Antonio.
