Bus vs. Train
Carter C. Bravmann’s Oct. 2 letter is yet another example of the failure of people concerned with mass transportation to think holistically.
Certainly, the train is faster. But if you live five miles from the train and two blocks from the bus, then what is the time differential? Not everyone has the choice he makes for himself.
