Public Transport

I was wondering why none of the candidates have mentioned anything about public or mass transit.
When you consider that Americans use 40% of the gasoline supply, based on many factors, one of which is the size of the vehicles we drive, you wonder how public transportation could not be more of a campaign issue.
I would say that this summer we will regularly see $4.00 gas, and probably $5.00 near the interstate network.
There are a select few people making never-before-seen amounts of money off of oil instability, but we have also been paying artificially low gas prices for the last 50 years.
The rest of the world has been paying these prices for decades, so I think it is perhaps our time to join them.
