Would it surprise you to learn that there are only two mass transit systems in the country more efficient (in cost, energy and carbon) than driving the average American car? And none are even close to being as efficient as driving a Prius.
And as a bonus you have zero chance of getting sick commuting alone in you Prius. Compare that to being packed shoulder to shoulder and hip to hip with 1000 other people. You are breathing on the back of some strangers neck that is inches away from your mouth and some other stranger is breathing on your neck. People are sneezing, coughing, hacking all around you. It’s pretty disgusting. Give me my Prius with my filtered AC, sound system and adjustable seat anytime.
