Less younger folk driving/owning cars?

[Koronin]

I would hardly call Raleigh Durham's decent. It's laughable, and barely useable for most people. The bus drivers are also notoriously bad (one killed a pedestrian last night).

I do think younger people are making more of an effort to try to use public transit. Whether it's viable is a whole 'nother issue.

That's the problem. Compared to the rest of the states (except maybe Charlotte) Raleigh/Durham's publican transportation would be decent. Most of the rest of the state it's non existent.
