Honestly, I think it is a combination of the need for these transportation alternatives going up because of the price it takes to not only drive a car daily, but maintain it (those 5,000 mile checkups can be costly!), but also because it has become more socially acceptable to be energy conscious. Ultimately, I guess we'll find out if gas prices stay low, whether that was the cause in any of this. My hope is that people continue to use biking/mass transportation when available!Kevinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06748606933753147568noreply@blogger.com
