Gas prices

Gas prices are absolutely ridiculous. i have a job in jacksonville and i'm about to start riding my bike the whole way because there's no reason for these prices to be so high besides the fact that the gas companies know we will have to pay whatever price they set because we're so reliant on getting places in our cars. Central Arkansas or even all of Arkansas should get a better mass transportation system. If you think about it, the majority of people in Arkansas are middle class and poor and definitely don't have the money for gas at these prices, but if they could pay a flat fee for a bus pass or a subway pass, that would be a lot more beneficial. Gas prices can also almost force someone to live on campus because it's going to get really expensive to commute from jacksonville or little rock to conway. The money for gas and the money for a dorm will probably even out, so either way, you pay an arm and a leg for college (after tuition and fees).
