wow.... i think i need a beer or 16 now that i finished reading all the ranting and raving going on. personally when i end up in the downtown area i have a person who is a DESIGNATED DRIVER. isn't that the responsible thing to do?? if that person ends up drinking then we call someone else or get a cab... i like and encourage the idea of a bus!!! it would probably be cheaper for the people riding than a cab and just as efficient. the only downside is that when the bus drops you off at taco bell at 3am to get some food they won't wait for you to take you home!!!
