This guy is wrong wrong wrong.

Don’t want anyone to miss this one: Americans took more transit trips in 2008 than in any year since the 1950s.

This is good news on so many fronts – quality of life, congestion, the environment, national security… and it was achieved under the obsolete, transit-hostile atmosphere of Bush-era Federal transportation planning. If transit can come back this strong without much institutional support, imagine what it might do with proper funding.

TEA time is going to be so exciting.
