Transportation after the Big Snow

Lots of people are complaining that they're "annoyed" by late or full busses and trains. Many people are "troubled" by their experiences with less-than-normal situations with mass-transit after Tuesday's monster blizzard. All I can say is, I have had no problems with my 10 year-old Chevy Blazer 4x4. It continues to get me where I want to go day after day. It doesn't stink like a CTA bus, there aren't germs all over the seats and handrails like on a CTA train, and I don't have to walk up and down icy stairs and platforms to get to it. (not to mention, I don't have to deal with the smelly homeless creep who's staring at me from across the aisle) Additionally, if I change my mind mid-route, I can go anywhere I want without worrying about transfers. To top it all off, my entire cost for this luxury, including gas, insurance and maintenance is around $10 per day. I have a hint for all you mass-transit riders: If you don't own and control the vehicle you're riding in, stop complaining and lower your expectations. You are nothing more than a human cow, loading yourself onto your transport pod that is graciously provided to you by taxpayer subsidies and a mismanaged, money-hungry transit agency. If you're tired of leaving your fate in someone else's hands, pick up your deflated self-esteen and go buy a 10 year-old Chevy Blazer 4x4 instead.
