is no one driving?

So I've found a few quick facts on how people are getting around in Vancouver from "The Province"...

-1.6 million a day (average ridership is 750,000 to 800,000): the number of riders on the city buses, SkyTrain, SeaBus, and West Coast Express
-250,000 a day: the number of riders on the Canada Line
-20,000 a day: the number of pedestrians across the False Creek bridges
-5,000 a day: the number of cyclists across the False Creek bridges

Approximately 35% of greenhouse gas emissions in Metro Vancouver come from transportation, so this is a good start to making a change I'd say... but is this enough though? Enough to make a difference in the long run? How many of these people whether they're from BC or Japan will still use public transit once the games are over? Well according to Dave Bracewell , Olympic transportation manager for the City of Vancouver, on Saturday they saw 20 per cent more cars downtown that the previous Saturday. So I guess people couldn't even wait a week after the games officially started.

My opinion - we're doomed.
