Interesting post on Freakonomics blog about "at least the traffic is down". The really sad thing is that according to the book Traffic, traffic will rebound as people realize that driving isn't as bad as it used to be. Sigh.

The trains and buses would make my commute in the region of 60 - 90 minutes. So from a maximum of 1 hour per working day traveling I would have to lose an extra 2 hours of my life every day to commuting and also pay more for the privileged. Tne only way to get me off the road is put the price of fuel up so far that I couldn't possibly afford to own a car.

Well, I live in the UK and can definitely say that the traffic has not gone down that much, especially the train traffic into London (passengers on board). Might have been a slight dip in traffic 6 months ago (maybe?), but nothing major. Economy is back on the rebound now in the UK. Job market is pretty good, roads are rammed, esp in the South East!

With oil prices going down and government scrappage allowance scheme in uk, more people are buying cars and so traffic is on rebound.
more number of people are travelling to distant locations to work and that also is contributing to the traffic in UK.
