How does it work for you?
Is it a solutions for heavy traffic congestion?
Why is it that North Americans have pretty much abandoned it as a standard for families and gone to the one driver/one car model?
The one car family was abandoned when leasing became the norm creating millions of used cars each year. The market is flush with so many used cars that are very affordable and in good condition. I remember back in the 1980's a used car ment buying a junker that required major repairs. Not anymore.
