@BrentToderian People need to remember that at any point roughly 20 to 40% of the population cannot drive - age, disability, lack of financial ability to own a vehicle or even vehicle repair. In our small city / town, my kids are independent. They bike and walk everywhere, and only need rides from an after school sport that they are bused to. My parents are in a rural area and are trapped. My mother cannot drive. Happiness is car independence and choice.
