I just realized I have not yet seen a SUV in Bangkok. Lots of Toyota cabs and scooters, but no gaz guzzling monsters. Noelle says cars here are very expensive in order to discourage people buying them. Between the river taxis, skytrain and subway you can cover distance quickly. On the roads it is a maximum of about 3mph. It truly sucks. Really, the way it works here is to stay off the road. You must be under, elevated over it, or bisect it on water. That it the only efficiency there is.
Yesterday Bobbi and I were moving consistently moving faster than traffic where ever we went. Listen up Mid Night Marty, building more roads and bridges for your developer buddies will not work in the long run. Put your money, like the Governor, into mass transit. I know you think it is the right thing to do, deep down! Right?

A thousand Japanese SUVs, especially hybids, probably put out less pollution than ten tuk-tuks in downtown Bangkok.
