The ERE author Jacob thinks the dominant factor in the commute domain is … car ownership. He believes public transport is cheaper. I agree with him that cycling and walking are by far the superior commute.

• reduce dependencies on oil, parking, car services… Compared to bicycle, a car requires far more “care and feeding”
• exercise
• Walk to office — Henry Yang, Deepak .. are just some of the examples. I too walked for a year between 745 7th and PATH station

Jacob’s fundamental view is “peak oil”. I kind of share that view.

I think we can still keep a car for weekends…
