Instead of lowering the speed limit to 55mph, how about a better public transportation system? If you had more trains and buses, less people would be on the road.

You would gain so much more by improving our transportation problem. Dropping the speed limit to 55mph is nothing more than a bandaid for a much bigger problem. You would end up with fewer cars on the road and fewer emissions, which would eliminate many more problems.

Our transportation systems suck here in the US. Overseas in countries like Japan, Hungary and many other European countries for example kick our but in this area.

There are very few cities in the US that even have public transportation systems that are even anywhere close to anything overseas.

What we need is better public transportation.
