My current commute is 58 miles one way, there is no bus system or any kind of public transit (besides Greyhound) that goes between Toledo OH and Dearborn MI. >_<; I would take a bus or ride my bike in a split second of a heartbeat, but its just not an option. We are looking to move, once I finally get a job, though its looking less and less like moving to Seattle in the immediate future. But for those of us who have no other options than drive (and I got as gas-efficient a car as was in my price range), this just kills us. I can't even imagine the what the low income people who have to commute are doing, for me its just eating up all my luxury budget currently. But if I don't get gas (and waiting in line is definitely not an option around here where my commute can be anywhere from 1.25 hours to 3 hours), then I don't have an income.
Maybe, just maybe (though I doubt it), this will make this area that is so dependent on the car industry and cars, think twice about its completely shoddy public transit system.
