"A new survey showed that more than 350,000 people tried some alternative form of commuting in the past year. It was a 13 percent increase in the number of commuters who tried getting to work in some way besides driving alone at rush hour compared with the numbers in a similar survey conducted last May. Alternatives ranged from car pools and van pools to telecommuting."
