text: Experts say that the United States "love affair for vehicles seems to be cooling" (Rosenthal). Many Young citizens aged under 25 seem to have no desire for a drivers license. As of April 13, 2013, the number of miles driven per person were down 9 percent from the peak of car buying sales. We are experiencing a long term cultural shift (Rosenthal) and will likely see dramtic changes in the future. Major cities , like New York and San Fransico, have transit and subway systems put into place for this very reason. More car pooling and public transit seems to be the way to go.
