In Grand Rapids mass transit is way to sporadic and limited in where
it goes to be effective.  Often certain bus runs are only available
once an hour, and many places are at least a half mile from the
nearest stop.  I live in Sparta (north of Grand Rapids) and there is
not even bus service between Sparta and GR.  We also do not pack the
people in like rats like cities like New York (I think this is one of
the reasons crime is lower too!!).  Many people like Europeans do not
understand America and the car here because they think of a country
as something that you can drive across in a couple of hours not a
week or more.  Part of the reason many people live in places like GR
is because things are spread out.  Spread out means mass transit does
not work so well though!  It is more about geography and economics
than peoples desire to ride a bus.  I have gone to downtown Chicago
with a car and it is no wonder people do not drive down there.  Just
go into a downtown Chicago parking ramp once and you will see the
drastic difference between big citys and GR or Kazoo....
