A visit to the San Francisco Bay area has reminded me of what a great transportation system Americans can build when they pay attention. It also reminds me of why I got into transportation advocacy in the first place. In a three part series over the coming days, I'll examine the transit, bicycling, and walking conditions we encountered there.
