I'd say welcome to the 21st. There are actually some folks who don't take suffocating in car exhaust as an unavoidable natural process - or as an inalienable liberty.

Awesome! I can't wait for Wellington to have a 16km underground metro railway. (At the moment the longest tunnel on the Wellington transmetro is about 5km)
A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

If you are seeing an apparent paradox, that means you are missing something.
