Started riding the CATS (Charlotte Area Transit System for y'all not familiar) express bus a little over a year ago. Back then you could actually catch the 7:06a 77X and have a seat to yourself. Slap on the iPod, open your book and relax.
Enter $4/gal gasoline.
One word - "sardines."
I think this is an excellent proof point. As much as I'd like to think that positive change can be affected by noble intentions - most change is driven by economics. Not bad, not good. It just is what it is.
The countdown continues - next week I intend to commute at least 2 days on two wheels.
