But you know why the U.S doesn't want to import air compressed cars, because is of pride, is too proud to say that they drive such cars, yet they forget the 1920 and such cars..Yet it doesn't want to look at its high crime rate, discrimination and how minorities get paid less...A lot of this stuff i don't have to say them i just can keep them to myself...

America ought to have a system of buses, by that i mean have the buses ready as a mass transportation and really cheap just if in case of a catasthrophy or oil ends up going to the roof, and what's better than the 5% earned interest...But are they thinking about this? i wonder... if a catasthrophy happens, they will have to have the buses ready, or they will have to import that "air compressed car" whether it meets government standards or not....Are they thinking about this? have they start...

what i see in the future is people either through a pyramid to create a king if the oil prices continue to go up, they are going to pull to get themselves their own private transportation, and by that i mean their own private bus to take them everywhere...

i disagree on the bus fare though...If the bus fare was increase more people will be inclined to drive and what happens if more and more people drive their cars and adds to the 50,000 or 100,000 cars or whatever number driving on the city...City gets congested, more polution... Could you imagine if every teenager in school got their cars.. Take the example of China, 1 Billion people (well they have the land) but 1 billion people all driving in cars, and more with the advent of the "NAN... [ More ]

Buses are primarily used by riders who do not have transportation of their own or have limited parking downtown. It irratates me when I see a bus go by with only one or two passengers on board. Big time losing deal. The cost of bus service is subsidized by taxpayers. Bus fares should be increased not reduced. Or the size of the buses should be smaller when a small passenger load is known to happen at certain times of the day. Big 60 passenger bus with only two riders. Grumble... [ More ]

plus for free the bus fare for disabled people: http://www.buscrazy.net/vehicles.htm (i wonder how much they cost)....I heard that some very good ones but i think they are used can cost 35,000 dollars...Here in Panama all we will need is 3 or 4 buses of those for people in wheel chair and that the bus driver drive with a phone...The person in wheel chair just calls the bus driver wherever he is and ask to pick them up at whatever time....This is also another idea where you can elaborate and take it a step further......

And what if you take another team of 20,000 people let them each pay 500 a month (for 1 city), and let them pay that for 10 months...Then the 100 million dollars (again if a bus cost 100,000 dollars) (talking outside the U.S.A here) then they can take those 100 million dollars and buy 1,000 buses...So a big city will have 1,000 buses all to drive around the city...And then the first team of 20,000 people will take the other 100 million dollars and place it in the bank and the 5 million from earn...

The car industry, nor carmaker yet, has a semi-supercomputer or supercomputer to calculate the amount of cars sold each year and on the road and checking them against land size and in constrast to population size, you know to measure congestion....No carmaker yet has done that...They only produce cars without thinking of the consequences...

Also i believe that if you was to take out the 120 miles/per hour speed out of busses that are driving on the big city, and leave them with 60-65 miles per hours which is what they should be doing you will reduce their cost, why? because they are putting so much horse power and speed into them and they are not even using them....And they should leave it at 60-65 miles per hours because there is going to be so many of them... And this is not just a case for the U.S.A is for France, England,... [ More ]

also better than articulated buses is a bus that has two floors one on top and another on the bottom..those articulated busses are too long...

Buses Combating Global Warning: You know in my city of Columbus, Georgia there are buses but they run every hour and they cost 1 dollar...And my question is how much does it cost that bus terminal (piquera)? How much does one of those buses cost? 100,000 dollars? And i thought...How much does that entire bus terminal makes in 1 year? i say 4 to 5 million a year...And i thought...Again just to show you the power of 5% earned interest....And i thought....Why doesn't the city gets 100 million dollars, place it in the bank and let 5 million from the 5% earned interest that you are going to get EACH DAMN YEAR fromo those 100 million dollars, and let it pay the first year for 50 of those buses if they cost 100,000 dollars...And then the second year they get 50 more and this way they will have buses running every 10 minutes and they can give themselves the luxury of reducing the busfare from 1 dollar to 50 cents, now that the gas prices are expensive...And gas is only projected to go up, to something like 7 dollars a gallon....And what do they do with the 50 cents fare? they use it to pay the drivers of those buses or for bus maintenance or gas....

How do you get those 100 million...Remember when i said that allowing people to put money to eventually make a king to speak for the rest of us....Why not get 20,000 people and let each of them pledge 500 dollars a month (they are not investors they are only people that want to see a change in their city/country) and get those 20,000 people let each of them pledge to donate 500 a month for 10 months....and 20,000 x 500 = 10 Million dollars, now multiply that by 10 months and it equals 100 million dollars...The problem with all this is the taxes...But i am just giving you an idea where you can elaborate and take it a step further...And those 20,000 people will not have to donate 500 dollars ever again in their life...This way the city will have buses every 10 minutes or every 15 minutes...This way reducing how much gas people all in general consume reducing people how much they have to pay for gas and reducing the carbon footprint....And now repeat this scenario in every big city in America...And if you can get yourself 200 million instead of 100 million the bus fare can cost 25 cents...LOL...

I know that banks only give you 5% for 5 years, but knowing the city/U.S, the city/U.S can work itself around it, they can figure it out....

And what if my city instead of waiting 2 years and buying 100 busses, it waits a third year and buys itself 150 fleet of busses...Wouldn't that be wonderful....I hope you get the point i am just giving you an idea where you can elaborate and take it a step further...And the good thing is that the bus terminal is basically running itself it doesn't need the help of the city to run it...

Can you imagine bus fare costing 25 cents to ride around the city? With enough effort the bus fare can and could cost 10 cents perhaps free....
