Kansans Prefer Driving To Work Despite Transit Talks
Census 2000 supplemental data show 91 percent of Kansans over 16 going to work use a car, truck, or van with 83 percent driving alone. Public transportation barely registers at 0.3 percent as walking and cycling lead. Officials cite habit, geography, and long distances as reasons for car independence.
