I’ve reported on Cleantechnica before about the great financial savings of using mass transit, and the latest analysis out by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) shows that the average American transit rider saves $9,381 a year by leaving their car at home. But, something I have not written about much on here are the health benefits of riding transit.
There are big advantages to riding transit when it comes to our health. I notice this without any studies telling me so, but it is always nice to see some information that backs up our intuitions or experiential knowledge. Luckily, a new study out by APTA does just that.
