Gas price keeps going up in the mean while public transportations

[kap]

... remain a joke especially in southern CA. It takes 1 hour and a half for a one mile trip on a city bus from Arcadia to Monrovia (San Gabriel Valley). It takes 2 hours for a Simi-Valley transit for a 1/2 mile journey. In short, pure aggravations! What improvements to the existing public transportation infrastructure do you think should be done in your own regions? Do you think the billion dollar budget spending on the improvements will help or hurt in the long run as we, hopefully, become less dependent on oil? I shouldn't even contemplate on posting this question in the first place because there is no way out?
