Peak Oil.

[NorthernRaider]

Yup which merans the privately owned public transit system operators have got most people by the pubes and are going to twist them as hard as they can in the coming years. Cars priced off the roads means billions less in revenue to the govt so they will push up tax and fairs on public transport and naturally wil apply draconian security measures to keep the systems moving.

What an ingenious lovely plan all the sheeple confined to the metrolpolis's, roads only for the rich, powerful and military.Public transport kept expensive and strictly controlled. The rural communities for the ruling elite to buy nice country piles in, and us living in the greyness of the shadows.
