The Sunday New York Times features a long essay about cars and transit, The Autonomist Manifesto (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Road).
by John Tierney. Unfortunately, I waited too long to post this, so it might not be free any more. (NYT articles are free for seven days then paid after that).
The article is one of the more interesting and unconventional pieces on the subject of transit that I have seen. It touches on congestion and road pricing, private roads, subsidization of mass transit by car drivers, the liberal elites disdain for cars, the myth of urban sprawl, and what he calls “the car-culture war”.
