Its true! I strongly believe in public transport. Particularly the transport that is also dependent on oil…
Where I live though, if I wanted to get to work without my car it would change my trip time from 45m - 1.5h to about 2h-3h. Each way. I don’t feel like spending 6h travelling so it’s not really a choice for many of us.
When I started my job last year they straight up told us Uber doesn’t come out there cause it’s too rural and Google Maps still hasn’t bothered updating to list the street the building was built on last year.
Well, in a high gas price environment, workplaces are forced to stop requiring their employees to commute to bumfuck nowhere simply because they can buy land cheap there. Companies that insist on building factories or facilities without any respect for their employees’ commuting needs will simply go bankrupt, fools and their money being soon parted.

At least you have an option. If I wanted to get to work without owning a car I’d have to call an Uber or a friend with a car.
