I dont think your allowed to sign up for more then ONE street or neighborhood at a time. I also think its during certain times of the day, and you can only sign up a select amount of times per day or something. Not sure on this, but so Ive been told.
I dont drive, anyone who does in this city is a moron!!

No kidding. I've only visited San Fran, but public transportation seemed WAY more efficient than one's own car. Less gas, fewer headaches, AND you get crazy old women who hit on you! Win-Win-(Win)!

Are you joking? It's not like it's Manhattan. Public transportation absolutely sucks here (and closes down -- save for some grossly inefficient nightbuses -- way too early). I take public transportation to work in the FiDi, but if you're looking to go to the beach, the park, or at least 80% of the other places in the city, it will take you 10x as long on public transportation. This is a great idea.

Look forward to see the increase in accidents.

Try visiting Rome. Thats even worse. Don't even try looking for parking there. Its Chaos. I needed to drive because of my job, conviced them to switch me to a Vespa. Thats why so many drive motor bikes, parking is just more simple.

I can just see one pissed off person with a hammer taking care of this problem.
