How to Lure Commuters Out of Their Cars and Into Transit
Georgia's transportation authority considers results of recent survey.
The survey asked more than 1,100 residents of metro Atlanta about their current mass transit habits, their feelings about buses and trains, and the most important factors in their decisions about whether to use transit or drive.The factor that emerged in the survey as most critical was time.
