And don't forget the subway/bus/vans. Many places (e.g. WashingtonDC, Philadelphia) have car parks so you can drive to the subway/train station to commute to work. But the sad news is that there are simply too many perverts out there to safely hitch hike...alas. And don't forget motorcycles...although if you've seen a couple accidents in the ER that might make you decide to buy a car. Here in the Philippines, the "taxi" is a motorcycle with a sidecar. We use it all the time for errands, but my daughter in law prefers a driver and full sized car as a status symbol to do her errands. It's a sign of success to prove our business is making money. Sigh.The pollution in Manila is terrible...luckily we live in the provinces. car pooling is already done by many people.
