Yea but people in the rest of the country would be blown away by the travel times by car as well. Irvine to Santa Monica leaving at 7:30am is 2.5 - 3 hours. Total distance 45 Miles? You can drive from Kansas City to Omaha in roughly the same time

Yeah but you won't pass as many people. The density of SoCal is high but it is spread out which defeats public transportation. Maybe once we get some kind of automated bus system and bus lanes this could be less of a hassle but I doubt it.
