Hypothetically at what price of gas would drivers consider using alternative transportation or would decide to drop driving?
Our take
In a recent discussion on Reddit, the question arose about the price of gas that would compel drivers to consider alternative modes of transportation or abandon driving altogether. One user suggested that in Oahu, gas prices would need to reach around $9 per gallon for many to explore options like public transit or seeking jobs closer to home. With current prices hovering around $6, the potential for a significant shift in commuting habits becomes evident.
Saw this asked on another subreddit. Personally, I think gas here in Oahu would have to reach at least $9 range. Where a driver might consider taking alternative transportation like bus, finding a job closer to home, etc. Anything higher. Well, I think we would be a big doozy. Considering gas is already around $6+ or near it.
