Daa Train - Page 2

I do drive to my train station which is about five miles away. Better to drive 10 miles a day than 70, I figure. Otherwise, I'd have crap for options.

But 2.5 hours on the bus for such a short distance seems sucky.

People around here seem to have the impression that public transportation is awesome in cities like Los Angeles/OC, and that these other areas are so 'progressive' when it comes to energy conservation. I hate to point out to them that, while there are a few outspoken individuals that really promote being 'green', LA/OC is really sucky when it comes to giving people options.

This is what concerns me about living in your neighborhood - I may have to stick to Hollywood loft spaces for my fantasy relocations.

BTW - I keep reading the thread as dada Train and am wondering about a Train run by Marcel Ducamp, It could make a grand chocolate grinder...

I realized I couldn't move to Silverlake without owning a car because it would be nearly impossible to get to and from Silverlake using public transportation. Bummer.

Drinking martinis the whole way. Or something tasty and swanky.
