Same. At least in the ****hole town I live in right now. All the buses have big "Share The Road" stickers on the back with a pic of a bike, and yet everyday on my commute home I witness the bus drivers doing the exact opposite. And the buses here aren't even an effective alternate source of transportation. S hitty routes and schedules.
This county (Sonoma) is so car culture driven it's sickening. I commute 10 miles each way and they look at me like I have three heads and am on a unicycle. Lot's of people here have more than one car PER PERSON too. WTF is up with that s hit.
*additional rant:
And the more SUV's that are sold with the interior set up like your f ucking living room with a sofa and dvd player and mini fridge, the more complacent and careless drivers become and the more cyclists and peds get hit.
