    Uh, no, Paul it wouldn't.  It is pretty much physically impossible to get
from Long Beach to Pasadena (specifically the doors I am thinking of) in under
2 hours no matter how good the public transportation is.  About the only
exception would be an express that drops off a block from my house and from my
office.  Fat chance of that happening.

    Adding any stops lowers the average speed by quite a bit and we're talking
a 35-38 mile difference.  Not to mention that the nearest stops at the time
added just over a mile or so of walking that's 15-20m of your time just shot
which is a hair under 1/2 the time it took me on my motorcycle.
