Many Americans Are Open to Car-Free Living — Human Transit
humantransit.org
Is Americans a “car culture” or are they “car dependent”?  Do they drive because they love driving, or are they in an unhealthy relationship with a substance it would be happy to do without?  Obviously there are plenty of Americans who do love their cars, but here’s more evidence that there are fewer of them […]

We find that nearly one fifth of urban and suburban US car owners express a definite interest in living car-free (18 %), and an additional 40 % are open to the idea. This is in addition to the small share (10 %) of urban and suburban US residents currently living without a car.

    Hmm. I’m too used to a severe lack of good train and bus options. On thinking it over, I’d love to take a nice clean, comfortable and on-time train for long distances, even if they stay American slow.
