Americans Abandon Mass Transit In 2015 Because Of Cheap Gas

Americans renewed their long-standing love affair with the automobile in 2015, challenging the notion that millennials and baby boomers alike are abandoning their cars for public transit, bikes and car-sharing.

Last year, U.S. motorists drove more miles — 3.148 trillion — than any other year in history, according to data released by the Federal Highway Administration in February. And about 17 million new cars and trucks were sold in 2015, an increase of nearly 6 percent and a level of car commerce not seen since 2000.

Why?

We should embrace mass transit so as to embrace our Soviet-Era, totalitarian future. Go Hellary. Go Burnie.

Matty, looks like you have been grinding down on that Canadian made, Cruz autographed , crucifix shaped dildo for so long now that you have finally self lobotomized yourself.

Cruz is unelectable. Clue in.

PS: "self lobotomized yourself" is a redundancy. Perhaps you should have stayed in school past 6th grade.

Just sayin' it with a whole lotta love.

I have yet to see hussein odumbo use public transportation. He is intensely anti ecology and climate.
