I read somewhere today that Americans drove less than 12 billion miles or something this month than they did last year. Holy crap! 12 BILLION MILES! That’s a lot of not driving!

Question: Do you feel like you see more people on the streets doing the alternative driving deal? I know that I know of more people who carpool. I know that I know I see more bicyclists and persons waiting for the bus than I used to, but this is northern Los Angeles. I don’t attempt to classify our habits as the habits of an entire metropolis.

Your input?
