問題詳情

Have you ever stood at the bus stop watching hundreds of cars go by and wondered just how many of those cars are headed to the same place you want to go? Wouldn’t it be great if you could just stick out your thumb and get a quick ride rather than waiting 10 minutes for the old bus?  Imagine if, instead of congested lanes of large cars with one person on board, we had a stream of traffic picking up and setting down passengers to help them get to their destination , a truly “rapid transit” service in action on every street. __28__ Or are you turned off instantly by the modern day stigma associated with “hitchhiking”?  Hitching a ride used to be quite socially acceptable. Nowadays (at least in the “civilized” west) somebody sticking out their thumb on the side of the road is seen as a much less than desirable passenger. Equally, were youto decide to try your hand for ride, you might not be all that comfortable with the first person who stops for you. __29__It doesn't matter whether it's hydrogen, batteries or gasoline under the hood, if it’s two tons of metal carrying one person, then it is grossly inefficient. __30__   In our morefrugal future, we’re going to need to make better use of those spare seats.
