Street Talk.
Thursday, April 27, 2000
Everyone who works travels daily by cruising in a car, riding a bike, walking, or taking the bus. We caught up with some locals who shared their thoughts on their adventures in commuting.

How far would you travel to work? I would drive two minutes from my house.
Would you travel further if you had to? Not a chance.
How about carpooling, riding a bike, or walking? You''re not getting me out of my car.

How far would you be willing to commute to work? I''ve worked in San Jose before, and that''s about 70 miles away. I would do it again if I had to.
Would you consider other forms of travel? Yes, but I couldn''t ride a bike to work, and I''ve never carpooled.
Do you sing in your car? No, I just listen to the radio.
