Trying to control pollution levels in individual cities by micromanaging people's driving habits is futile. You're simply not going to be able to pry people out of their cars -- not in America, anyway.

That said, I would love to commute to work on a train, and the Front Range is long overdue for a line that runs from Denver to points north and south. I'd save thousands of dollars in gasoline every year. I've considered the bus, but the schedule and routes are weird, particularly between towns. If public transportation was efficient, clean, and convenient, I'd be all over it. Not in its current state, though. Spending 2 hours on 5 busses to travel 20 miles sucks.
