[CARFREE_CITIES] commutes, sociability, and stress

[Richard Risemberg [e-mail] [CARFREE_CITIES]]

A recent study of more than 21,000 people in Scania, Sweden, found that people who commute by car not only are less social–attending fewer social events, family gatherings, or public events–but they have lower trust, with more drivers reporting that they couldn’t trust most people. Meanwhile, active commuters—walking or biking—and even transit commuters reported much higher social participation and trust in others.
