Correct, and one of my strongest arguments against Mass transit. The government, which runs the system, sets it up as a can-do-no-wrong legal entity. And by the way if it does some wrong, you go in front of (drum roll please the same local government officials to argue your case.

The fact that none of these overpaid pansy-assed judges and lawyers would be caught dead riding a bus doesn't salve their guilt about the fact that no one else does, and who do you think you are! YOU ARE! on a bike. If you were a tried and true fan of mass transit you would be ON THE BUS, not blocking it, you ninny! Didn't you have Ralph Kramden fantasies as a kid?
