Re: Mass Transit...
I currently live in Waipahu, near a freeway on ramp, so I have no trouble getting to the freeway and going my merry way. But with all the congestion and (yes, gotta say it) idiot drivers, it's a trying journey. If we had mass transit that was [mostly] on time and relatively hassle-free, I would definitely do that to/from work. Back in high school and most of college, I walked to the bus stop. I've done 15-30 minute walks to the bus stop and even 1+ hour(s) from my origin to destination. I have no problem with walking, but frankly, if I don't have to deal with it, I won't.
I want the least amount of hassle, which means I hate the vulture thing at parking lots. I'd rather park farther away where I can have empty stalls on either side of my car, than circling or squatting up front and causing a mess.
So yes, light rail with park and ride stations would be kind of cool. And it would give me a great reason to get into MP3s and buy myself an MP3 player.
