| Message | ..::Rises::.. Mr. Speaker, We support this concept in that while the general expense would seem to be adding expense reduce strss on the infrastructure. This is a long term gain. I yield the floor. |

| Message | Mr speaker, We are not prepared to take the hard earned cash of people who may not use "public transport" for very practicale reasons (after all, it does not take you from your door to where you are going as quickly, conveniently or cheaply as a driver or motorcade) and use it as such. I yield the floor. |
