frugalprincess Veteran Author Colorado Springs Posts:476 Points:65,840 Joined:Feb 2007	Message Posted: Feb 26, 2007 7:47:56 PM Ignore frugalprincess Report Abuse If gas prices doubled, I would consider using public transportation as a primary mode of travel to/from work. But, I would still keep and maintain my own vehicle. Relying on public transportation for ALL travel is not feasible or realistic.

Public Transport in LA just plain sucks. It's not nearly good enough to make it useful to me on a regular basis.
