A two hour commute in an electric car is still two hours in crushing, soul destroying traffic. People ask me why I take a train and a freeway bus for my two days on campus, and I ask them why not? My drive is three minutes from my house to the train.

But in suburban Southern California, public transit is "for freaks and losers." That was deliberate marketing.
