The "driving boom" — the steady rise of the car in America in the six decades after the end of World War II — is over, according to a new report by the US Public Interest Research Group (US PIRG).
The report finds per capita driving has plateaued in recent years, as factors that fueled the increasing use of automobiles — low gas prices, suburban expansion, and a growing workforce — are no longer at work.
Baby Boomers were happy to live in the suburbs and drive to work, US PIRG says, but members of the up-and-coming generation, known as Millennials, are more interested in living in cities and using public
transportation.
For the rest and the great charts
