No. Another waste of taxpayer money.
I haven't used public transportation in decades. What would be the motivation to use it now?
I prefer to come and go on my schedule, and not to be packed in like sardines with the effluvient hoi polloi.
America Has Long Favored Cars Over Trains and Buses. Can Biden Change That?
Yanno, "the hoi polloi" is redundant.
Just sayin'.
As far as transportation though, I found out when the time came that if I want to ride a train from here I have to first get a ride 100 miles to an AMTRACK station. And it's not because there are no rails --- there's plenty.
Hoi polloi, a Greek expression meaning "the many" or, in the strictest sense, "the majority", is used in English to refer to the working class, commoners, the masses or common people in a derogatory sense. Synonyms for hoi polloi which also express the same or similar contempt for such people include "the great unwashed", "the plebeians" or "plebs", "the rabble", "riff-raff", "the herd", "the proles" and "peons". The phrase became known to English scholars probably from Pericles' Funeral Oration, as mentioned in Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War. Pericles uses it in a positive way when praising the Athenian democracy, contrasting it with hoi oligoi, "the few" Its current English usage originated in the early 19th century, a time when it was generally accepted that one must be familiar with Greek and Latin in order to be considered well educated. The phrase was originally written in Greek letters. Knowledge of these languages served to set apart the speaker from hoi polloi in question, who were not similarly educated.
