The "Earth Times" picked up an article, dateline Kansas City, about a survey commissioned by the HNTB Company on the latest transit trends. The survey, done in late September, found 11 percent of the adult population of the US is using public transit, and 16 percent expect their usage to increase in the coming year. The full article is available here. HNTB is known, here in Missouri, for their work on St. Louis' MetroLink.
