I guess I was writing to my target audience, business travelers, without pointing it out. For the most part, business people spend their time in downtown areas or near the airport. I had no trouble getting around in those areas, as they were easily accessible to each other. I can see where residents who live outside the downtown area or in the suburbs it would be a problem. Thanks for pointing that out so I could clarify.

Those of us who live here realize that this is a car city. We don't want to give up our cars for public transportation. It's a shame, but I don't see it changing any time soon. For example, most residents are not on a bus line to get to the airport. Nor is it possible to get cross-town without multiple connections and lots of time. Light rail is going in, but that's still a couple years away.
