I find it very funny that we continue to complain about gas pricing but do nothing. It seems to prove that they have us by the balls because we refuse to make any significant changes to make the oil producers hurt. And many of us don't have an alternate choice of traveling from home to work.

So as the majority of Oklahoma citizens continue to suffer, we pump more money into the hands of those in oil, in this state (plus all over the world).

We have talked about how the city is planning on developing a trolley system district and eventually a metro rails. However, why are we pumping monies into a trolley system that is going to be nothing more than a tourist attraction that will help only those that wish to see the Mid-town, CBD, Arts District, Bricktown, and OU Medical.

Why would we invest our tax money into something that would not benefit the majority of citizens. I feel that a Trolley System would be best suited if you were able to go from N. Western to Downtown, Baptist/Penn Sq to Downtown, OU Medical/OCU to Paseo/Mesta/Heritage. Yes, these are large areas to cover but overall it would hit a maximum number of pedestrians.

Isn't that the purpose of any type of rails system. I agree adding the old style to the Trolley District would be cool, but I would rarely use it and think very few citizens would.

After saying all that, would you use a system that could take you from home to work or home to school or home to entertainment, to help save your pocket from $3 and $4 a gallon in gasoline?

Please tell me your thoughts....
