"travel to and from work constitutes ... 19 percent of person-miles."<p>I find that incredibly hard to believe, like the rest of the article is a parody around it, or its an honest typo (perhaps 89 percent?)<p>It would imply everyone living in my suburban city of about 100K people drives 160 miles, per day, to go shopping and to restaurants or something. Just not seeing it. I got a new car around Halloween, and I've only driven a couple hundred non-commute miles since then despite a couple thousand commute miles. I'm surprised I've driven that many non-commute miles.
