Scuse me..but "el toro pupu"..I suppose this would be mass transportation 
supplied by the same government that gave us AMTRAC?  I can drive to San 
Antonio (586 miles) in 8 hrs, 10 if the kids are with us and burn about $60 
in gas (for 4-5 people) -OR- I can take AMTRAC for about the price of an 
airline ticket (around $350 round trip last I checked) per person, and it 
only takes 22-24 hours!  Oh, and if I want a sleeper berth, it's about twice 
the price.
Or should I take the SUNMETRO bus from work to home?  I'd only have to hike a 
mile or so to catch it after work, but the 5 mile hike from the last stop to 
home is a killer...of course I'd trim up quick, or die.
Of course, this is an unsolicited response...
