1986: “A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself a failure.”

– Margaret Thatcher

2008: The Mayor in London proudly sent their red Buses to Beijing to receive the flag for the 2012 Olympics.

So what do you think? If service was better would “successful” people – however you define it – be found riding public transit in Oklahoma City?
