CarpoolMania & Transportation Alternatives
Keeping roadways clear and our minds at ease...
CarpoolMania is a forum for discussion on the logistics and benefits of carpooling and taking various modes of public transportation. These days there is a wide array of ways to get to and fro, but most of us (Americans anyway) stick to the convenience of our personal vehicle. This group is to educate individuals interested in stepping out of their car a ...learn more

For work and for taking my child to school: Bicycle/Bus To run errands: Car. To go out at night: walking 2) Bicycle and my legs 3) Yes I carpool with my coworkers |

1) I recently went car free, so now transportation is bus and walking with an occasional bike ride. Oh and I get people to drive me around if they are going in my direction anyway.
2) Telecommute. 3) Perhaps, as long as I get to listen to Cher. |

Hey, all:
1) Small truck, but since I do independent work that takes me many places and have equipment, I am constrained in choices. 2) In an ideal world with ideal convenience, a commuter train. For individual use, a sustainably produced Hydrogen or battery electric car. 3) Yes. Current opportunities are non-existent. 3a) Cher? Interesting survey! Sadly, though, Texas is probably among the very worst U.S. states for mass or alternative transportation. David Messages done with sustainable energy, with Wind and Sun! |

1) Regular: walking, biking, bus/BART
2) Preferred: biking, hiking, staying in bed 3) Lots of carpooling, I sometimes claim to have started SpaceShare Green Travel & Carpooling so that people would give me rides. - Stephen |

I just moved to Berkeley from San Francisco, so I'm sure my transportation patterns will change, but so far I'd say:
1) Prius, then walking, BART, biking. 2) Ideally, this-> www.teslamotors.com or, alternatively, an old Mercedes diesel station wagon converted to biodiesel, like this-> qurl.net/386 3) I've just started carpooling to work (with zburrows). |

1) civic, though it wouldn't kill me to try to take the bus once a week.
2) BART or commuter train so that I could read or sleep 3) I carpooled for like five years during high school with the same neighbor. One of my parents would pick us all up from school, and one of my friend's parents would drive us to school. |

1) Bike/Bus
2) Depends where I'm going. I'm lazy, so how about the bus! 3) I do, a little... but not regularly. I would LOVE to organize something with people for the local university (you can't believe - or maybe you can - the number of people I see sitting alone in their cars as they drive a few blocks to campus). Thanks for the "GoLoco" link, by the way! I may try that. |

1. Train or Tram (we've got a great Tram network in Melbourne!) 2. Walk 3. Car 4. Bike (a great bunch of bike tracks in Melbourne - but I'm still developing the habit) |

I try to walk and bus as much as possible. Alas, for time reasons I end up driving my car much of the time. I advocate for better transportation systems in my home of Seattle, Washington. I try to share transporation resources on this group. Please click through the resources and organizations linked to our Carpooling and Transportation Alternatives Group. Encourage transporation activists you know to join and add their 2 cents worth. We've had a few execellent questions on this forum. I notice many of the other transportation forums on WiserEarth are not public. So, that makes it especially important to post to this one. See the list of related groups for regional and specific modes of transportation.
