Mr. Gee states that the object isn't to make drivers miserable, and yet I don't see a single constructive suggestion in this article.  Every suggestion seems to be aimed at making driving slower, less convenient and more expensive.

Here's a thought - this driver would dearly _love_ to get out from behind the wheel.  I suspect many, even most drivers are the same.  The problem is that there _is_no_better_way_.  

Rather than taking up more of drivers time and money, rather than increasing drivers frustration, how about focusing on useful suggestions?  How about trying to give drivers a better way?  How about making transit at least comparable in time taken?  I'd happily pay as much as it costs me to drive if I could let someone else drive and not loose at least half again as much time every day.
