Ventura County's Growing Public Transportation System

Guide to Getting around Part 22 Success? Most people are commuting more than 20 miles to where they are working. Or you know you have people that make a long commute. But I think the average is 26-miles or something for this county as a general rule, to them it is pretty much of your inventory if you are probably working still within the county. You will note that we do not have any parking meters in this county, so as long as you have free parking, it maybe more convenient for you to take a car. It has got to a point here where they free ways and the road system are so inconvenient that people want to get into a bus. The other thing is when the price of gas gets up very, very high. You know more people were getting into the bus or into ride sharing and we have, we do a lot more of ride sharing in this county than in the lot of counties. And believe it or not, I think we have the highest percentage of people that tell us they are commuting and work from home in their computers. Large companies are mandated to mitigate the traffic caused by their employees commuting to work. So park and ride lot like this exists to provide a meeting place for car pools, van pools, and commuter buses to take them to work. The program has been so successful that this park and ride lot has been turned in to a used car in our V parking lot. The longer you drive, the closer you go to the traffic in the metropolis, the more viable public transportation becomes. This is downtown Los Angeles rush hour traffic. This is what happens when you have more people and more cars than you have concretes to put them on. Public transit in the Los Angeles bases is like a giant game of shoots and ladder. If you can get to certain places like this bus way or the light rail system you can find yourself across town in a matter of minute. My bus driver this morning talked to me this way. I could take his bus and be across town in 15 minutes or I could be in the same place from the freeway in an hour and a half.
