Gas Prices Aren't Driving Los Angelenos To Transit

"A survey conducted by Metrolink two years ago found that 10% of new riders considered the trains a way to cut back on fuel costs. But six months later, only 50% of those respondents were still riding regularly, said Denise Tyrrell, a Metrolink spokeswoman.

...'That's a really difficult change to make for most people,' said Genevieve Giuliano, professor of transportation policy and planning at USC. 'If they take the bus, it takes twice as long to get to work and it affects everything else they do during the day.'"
