You both bring up some good points. However, here's my interpretation on a few things. First off, you must realize that Travis is NOT a sane man. As far as the porno theater goes, we know Travis loathes "scumbags." However, he's not a hypocrite. I don't think he viewed the porno movie as "scum." He's screwed up, so the correlation between porn and scum was never made. He thought nothing of it. It was not a "test" for Betsy. He just brought her along for his "everyday routine." As far as the ending is concerned, Scorsese may not give us a definitive answer...but Herrmann does! First, I think all that happened really happened. Of course it's possible it was in Travis' mind, but I doubt it. That double take in the rearview mirror is rather creepy to me. But the definitive answer comes from Bernard Herrmann's music. The final three chilling notes are the exact same notes from Herrmann's Psycho. This tells us that Travis is a very disturbed and dangerous man. The movie ends, but Travis' story does not.
