First, Public Transit in San Diego doesn’t suck. It doesn’t do anything more or less than NY’s transit system. The problem with San Diego is the land-use designation that it serves. How can anyone provide accessible transit in county that prides itself on suburban sprawl. What a joke.
If voters started placing people in office that would help build this city out of their cars, we might one day have an option. I fortunately live in the mid-city area where I can take the bus into downtown to work everyday. It works fine for me and my $65.00 a month monthly pass is hardly a tax on the wallet.
The bottomline is, not matter how high gas prices go, people in america still have to drive because no one pays any attention to why they are actually stuck in their car. One day, those that live in Poway, RB, Escondido, Carlsbad and commute to Downtown or Sorrento Valley, will figure it out. Move closer to your job and shop in your neighborhood.
Lastly, don’t think Hybrids are the answer, until you find a place to put all the 6-year old lition Ion batteries that cannot be recycled.
