Not only is it stacked against poor people, anyone who doesn't drive is at a loss for options. I have been looking into options for a trip south, other than driving. There are very few! Don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I need to get there on relatively short notice, so I guess I will get ripped off for a plane ticket.
