Why do people drive so much? A look at the costs.

I just created this graph for the wikipedia article on the Effects of the automobile on societies. (It's based on a similar graph in the book Transportation for Livable Cities By Vukan R. Vuchic, a great read for anyone interested in sustainable development.) The article still needs a lot of work, but I wanted to share what I added today.

So that's how Wikipedia is being made...

Dear God. I am not responsible for some of the crap you'll find in there. I just try to clean things up a little.

Just this particular crap?

"It's not crap when I do it" = every Wikipedia editor ever.

No, I meant someone makes a picture and uploads it.

Don't get me wrong. I often find myself browsing there for info. But I always keep one in mind.

I think you really need to make some kind of mention about where the data the graph this is based on comes from.
