This has to be younger people who live in major metro areas. Where I grew up has 0 public transportation and where I live the only real public transportation only services the base and maybe three neighborhoods that are not on base and the only place it goes is to the mall and back to the base or neighborhoods. Come to think of it there are only two cities/metro areas that have decent public transportation in this entire state. That would Charlotte (and you must be in Charlotte it's self to use it) and the Raleigh/Durham area.
