Autos losing allure for young adults, study shows

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

Car culture and the romance of the open road are losing their allure among young Americans, according to a report released Thursday by a public interest group.

Teens and young adults drive substantially fewer miles per year than their predecessors did, and many don't even bother to get a driver's license. They increasingly rely on their feet, their bikes or mass transit, according to the "Transportation and the New Generation" report.
