Reason.TV on how to beat traffic congestion - terrific video

Reason TV has a terrific video on how the private sector and pricing could help alleviate traffic congestion.

It's a vivid portrayal of the problem narrated in a relaxed easygoing style.

Then it casually throws in the solutions - toll express lanes, Australian style tunnels, and letting the private sector hustle up the money. TV at its very best.

Drew Carey - the narrator/host - is alive and interesting compared to the wooden stick figures on network TV.

Maybe also it's the quiet and casual discussive tone and flashes of light humor that makes this so appealing as compared to the wearying tone of indignation, gloom and anger that pervades the old alphabet TV networks and Fox too.
