Public transportation of the future: Four new sustainable technologies

In 2014, Americans spent an average of 42 hours per year sitting in traffic jams.

On my way in to work this morning, I walked through a tree lined street, admired my wintry surroundings, breathed fresh air, and chatted with one of my neighbors at the bus stop. I listened to music and sent a message to my mom while waiting to transfer to the metro. A short time later I arrived at work with a clear head, and ready to start my day.

Public transportation is a new experience for me. Until a few months ago I started each day by driving 42 miles. After the hour-long drive, I would arrive at work already stressed before the day even began.

Sound familiar?
