    I am borderline ecstatic to see a response to this statement by ML. New
    York immediately came to mind as a city with a successfully implemented mass
    transit system that is decidedly not a "mature and ingrained socialist
    society". Mass transit is an obviously complex phenomena and is not
    necessarily only useful in well developed socialist environs. It may be the
    case that most socialist states push mass transit but an entire philosophy
    of transportation cannot be removed from the map of interesting
    possibilities just by associating it with some ideology that one disagrees
    with, in this case socialism.

    I dunno about that, but it sure makes life in Melbourne considerably more
    comfortable and pleasant than it would be otherwise. New York, too, for that
    matter.
