Scooter riders have alternatives

I don't understand why students are so disturbed by the decal increase. Owning a scooter is a luxury. If you can afford to spend $1,500 on a scooter, then you can afford to pay more than $100 for a decal. If you want to be "green," buy a bicycle. A nice, used road bike costs $150 from any of the local bike shops, and it gets infinity miles per gallon with zero emissions.

Or ride the bus. You pay for that anyways. Everyone's trying to hop on the eco-progressive-sustainable bus, but as soon as your convenience is affected in the slightest way you throw up your hands and whine about how you're being discriminated against.
