Still As Life

I just came across this comparison in traffic. The same amount of people and how much space they take up either in cars, buses, or on bikes. So why on earth do so many people insist on driving everywhere? There is nothing wrong with public transport. I know this may be different elsewhere, but here in Brisbane, I've noticed so many people seem to have a problem with taking the busses or trains, or even the city cats. I really don't get it, often it is quicker to take the bus since there is so much traffic which causes gridlocks all over the place. The public transport is cheap, and when you consider how much parking and parking fines can be, as well as petrol, public transport works out a lot cheaper really. Most of the busses are quite new and they are all air conditioned as well, so it's not like they are uncomfortable.

Not to mention all the newer busses run on natural gas rather than diesel, so they are much friendlier to the environment than a street full of cars as well. So come on people, help the environment and traffic problems at the same time, ride a bike or use public transport!

Just a little add on the side, as mentioned by speeddemon0117 in the comments, not only would riding a bike help relieve traffic congestion, but it would help with people's health and growing obesity problem. This also brought to mind that I know a lot of people who drive around area's where they could walk almost as quickly, just because of the amount of traffic. Walking would help both of these problems just as much, and in a lot of situations such as in the city, it doesn't take much longer at all!

Thanks for the comment and thoughts speeddemon0117!
