British Columbians Ditching Cars
More people in British Columbia are responding to higher gas prices by ditching their cars and rising bikes, taking transit and walking, according to a recent survey.
"British Columbians lead Canada in turning to bicycles, public transit or selling their cars as an alternative to paying more on gas."
"The most popular methods for Canadians to cope with higher gas prices are driving less, buying less gas or walking more."
"But, possibly because of the rain, fewer of us in B.C. are willing to park the car and walk more."
"But the survey also reveals that British Columbians are more likely to do nothing about the bigger bite gas is taking out of their income than most Canadians, an interesting twist to the results that Canseco said reflects our obsession with personal choices."
