I'm confused as to when it became Google's job to "design a better transportation system." Isn't that municipal government's job? Shouldn't we perhaps be angry with them for not doing THEIR jobs?

Google is doing what's best for its employees. If there was a public transportation system capable of doing it instead, I'm sure the stockholders' money could be put to better use.

But local governments are hopeless.

I'm not making an anti-Google post here. I'm saying that there are a bunch of companies who could be doing interesting stuff but they can't because of entrenched industries and weird regulations.
