If we are to ever break our addiction to Middle Eastern Foreign Oil then we must get more people to conserve fuel by car pooling and taking public transportation. Few people take public transportation in many areas and it is hard to get them out of their personal automobiles.

Apparently the United States is a car nation indeed. Nevertheless, if everyone who worked in the city took public transportation it would free up lots of fuel and traffic too. Cars generally put out more pollution at idle in traffic jams than driving down the freeway at 55 mph. We can solve a bundle of Americas problems by car increasing the use of Public Transportation.

Remember also that public transportation works on economies of scale and the more riders the less the cost for each individual. But how can you get citizens out of their cars and into the public transit system? Well you need a public relations campaign and you need to pitch comfort and amenities such as WiFi and comfortable seating.

One of the coolest public relations I saw was a make shift seat of a commuter train in Atlanta which was in a trailer and they took it to the fair and let people sit in it while surfing the Internet to show people what they were missing. Consider all this in 2006.
