Did Commuting Patterns Change in the First Decade of the Millenium? Only a Little.
A New Geography article summarized the commuting data and results revealed by the 2010 Census. The winner wasTelecommuting and the loser was Carpooling.
In summary,there has been no major change in commuting, even with the huge gas price increases.
As the shift to personal mobility continues, the largest increases will like take place in telecommuting, which is the most energy-efficient form of transportation.
Gains in transit have been minimal and should be expected to stay at around 5% on the mainland and around 7% in Honolulu.
Clearly these numbers indicate that a city like Honolulu with 950,000 people investing on a $6 billion heavy rail system is nothing short of ridiculous.
[…] When you think that you dutifully pay your fare upfront and then they get away with the constant delays and simply saying ‘We apologise for any inconvenience caused!‘, it feels like they`re taking the mickey really!! Maybe we should be reimbursed for every single delay, since of course when we are late, no one waits for us! Image courtesy of: https://www.hawaiireporter.com/?p=41443 […]
