The number of people car pooling is dropping significantly, even though transportation planners have given car poolers tons of breaks, such as the $20 a month charge to park at Minneapolis’ ABC ramps, the Star Tribune reported Thursday. That’s compared to the near $150 a month for people driving alone. ... “People wish they didn’t have to drive alone,” said Frank Douma, director of the State and Local Policy Program at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs. “More than 60 percent of people who drive alone say that it is not their ideal mode.”
