Why Do We Need Public Transportation?

Why Doesn't Everyone Just Drive a Car?

The Green Party envisions a new St. Louis where citizens can easily make most trips by bus, train, trolley, bicycle, and walking. Expanding healthy and more efficient forms of transportation would enormously improve the City’s air quality, reduce traffic injuries and deaths, and lower the incidence of heart disease and diabetes. Reduced automobile dependency will mean less traffic congestion, shorter commute times, and fewer stress-related illnesses.
