Dear editor,Great cartoon (Record, March 16)!Can't wait to see similar cartoons about older people with walkers, pregnant women, foreigners with funny accents (like me).There is a huge number of cities around the world where public transit is a normal part of everyday life. Even car drivers find it more practical to only use their car on weekends (to do bulk shopping or visit friends or relatives in another town). During the week they use various modes of transit.Then there are the people that have hardly left their little corner of the world and are totally oblivious of how troubling and expensive our everyday life is becoming.Many of the families in the Comox Valley that own houses too big for their britches, several cars and all the electronic gizmos one doesn't really need when one is just an average working class family, are only a few paycheques away from bankruptcy. Even if they manage to avoid what happened recently to so many average U.S. families that believed they were safe, what will they do when gas prices reach those in Europe or Japan, etc. and when freeways become tolled motorways, and everything but the paycheque keeps going up?Transit may then be one of the few things that will then help them survive. Funny how the people looking down on transit and complaining about it being subsidized don't seem to know how many things in their lives that they take for granted are "subsidized," including the private business they either work for or patronize.Mr. J-L Brussac,Coquitlam
