What in the world is going on with our gas situation??? Everywhere I go I see people scrambling to fill up their cars. With lines over an hour long anxious drivers try to remain calm. Could all of this ciaos actually be a good thing?? Right now we are being forced to face our own dependence on oil/gas in a very personal way. This crisis hurts everyone. Look how desperate we are when supply is low!
I have noticed Marta parking lots and other forms of public transportation have been busier than usual. Between the price and availability of gas I see why commuters are abandoning their cars. Could this be a positive trend brewing as a result of a “crisis”? On our movement toward a greener America I think this could actually be a push in the right direction! Atlanta’s highways and major streets are already overcrowded and current construction makes getting around difficult.
Check out Marta’s website and see if this could work for you. There is even a calculator that will estimate your monthly savings if you switched. I know this isn’t practical for all but I’m sure it could benefit many!
