They're choosing not to drive for the same reason they're choosing to be more thrifty, choosing not to go to college, choosing to live with their parents longer, and choosing not to buy homes. See if you can find the common denominator.

idk, I have a car and a job that pays well enough that I don't feel right for gas money and such, but I'll still walk/public transit/bike when it's not terribly inconvenient and I feel like a lot of my same generation coworkers feel the same way.

sure money might be part of it for some, but definitely not the driving force in my circles
