When I read this, my first thought was the classic song by Burt Bacharach, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGsb2BzWjMk. Here in Israel there are also complaints against the Minister of Transportation, Miri Regev, who spends more of her time arranging for memorial ceremonies that will praise Netanyahu and his wife than providing free transportation on Saturdays. The train I take regularly from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is almost always on time. One thing that I notice is that I am the only one with a NEWSPAPER! Everyone else has their mobile phones, their laptops and their scooters.
Thanks for the stimulating comments about traveling as an older person. Here in Ithaca, where at 86 I have ceased driving for two years now, I take the local Gadabout to various appointments, for $6.00 round trip, exulting in being able just to enjoy the surroundings as I am driven by someone else. I am also lucky to have two of my three children local who can take me places.

Love Arlo! Thanks!
I hope you will send this piece to Mayor Pete!
