Claims of transit ridership increases greater than autos rely on
"apples to oranges" comparisons calculated from an unrepresentative
base year. Calls to "Dump the Pump" and use transit to avoid higher gas
prices are baseless rhetoric. The reality is transit is not available
for most urban trips and cannot be made available at a price society
can afford.
