Looks like the market might work sometimes after all:
The Department of Transportation said figures from March show the steepest decrease in driving ever recorded.
Compared with March a year earlier, Americans drove an estimated 4.3 percent less — that’s 11 billion fewer miles, the DOT’s Federal Highway Administration said Monday, calling it “the sharpest yearly drop for any month in FHWA history.” Records have been kept since 1942.
This has to be good for the enviroment and it seems like I am seeing a lot more people on bikes as well, which should lead to healthier people. Maybe the much dreaded in of the automobile era will be the beginning of a much better and healthier car free, or at least car less used, era.
