Coping With Gridlock

"All the forms of alternative transit together, including trains, buses, bicycles, and that old standby, the human leg, account for a tiny share of American transportation use. "Let's not break out the champagne," said William Fay, president of the American Highway Users Alliance, in the Post story. 'Highway growth is the real success. By real numbers, far more people are driving cars than taking transit.' Unfortunately, the Highway Users have a point. The transit numbers, although improving, only look good until they're compared to auto use."
