This article points out the importance of transportation to people who are trying to exit poverty. Revitalizing our public transportation is key. It is really ironic to me that very people who complain about people in poverty “using their tax dollars” for food or other things, will not help pay for things like good public transportation so people can go to work and earn their way out of poverty.

One city, two worlds. That is the difference between having a car and riding the bus.

Few of us who drive cars really understand the difference that one reality—car or bus—can make: where you shop, what you buy, where you work, how often you can make appointments, who you visit, how you find entertainment—even if and how you can engage in the democratic process.
