Suddenly it’s cool to take the bus, Business Week
Looks like Business Week did an entire issue on how the price of oil may change and has changed the way we live. Check out the articles on how the price of gas might effect our car culture, and where we live.
The above quote is from an article on the increase use of employer sponsored transit systems with every increase in the cost of gas. For the short time that I dealt with an hour commute each way by car, I always felt completely drained by the time I got home. I quickly decided that the extra cost of rent in the city was well worth my time and sanity, but it’s interesting to see that some businesses went to the trouble of quantifying that happiness.(via theurbanist)
It’s fairly obvious that I’m a car-nerd. I like looking at them, driving them, talking about them, reading about them.
But lets be clear — commuting in a car, especially a single-occupancy car, is just about the worst thing you can do if you have access to any other form of transport.
