Issue 10: Transportation
Spring 2006
Our tenth issue includes features on the high costs of free parking, rapid-transit buses, and how regionalism could save Philly¹s rail system. Along with our new thoughts on planes, trains, and automobiles, the issue includes a review of Robert Bruegmann¹s book Sprawl, as well as reporting from Sacramento, Jakarta, and Kansas City. In Putting a Price on Driving, Michael Replogle asks whether the grand solution to too much traffic and too little incentives to use mass transit might be increased use of toll roads, particularly in peak traffic times. In Last Exit, David Gest tells his story of moving to L.A. “land of cars, pornography, and Valley girls” and eventually finding a walkable community and a movement toward mass transit.
