The Dallas / Fort Worth area is referred to as a "metroplex." The vast majority of that metroplex has no adequate public transit, if "adequate" is to be described as "walkable without turning into a sweaty puddle during the summer time." But hey, if you want to walk 4 miles to reach a bus terminal to prove a point, be my guest. I'll be driving, and so will virtually everyone else in "generation Y." People seek status. Vehicle ownership is a status symbol by itself. Owning a more expensive car? Also a status symbol. That they don't know what's going on under the hood doesn't stop them from wanting the most flashy thing they can afford.
