Catherine Morency de Poly Montréal rapportait récemment que les Québécois dépensent 44 milliards CAN$ annuellement pour l'auto-solo. Selon HEC, chaque dollar dépensé par un automobiliste représente 1,44$ en coûts sociaux. Pour 1$ investi dans le transport en commun le coût social est de 38 sous.

far too many media orgs have been slow to learn that in the age of social media the headline IS the story
