“Somehow I kind of doubt it. Most people pay whatever gas costs so they don't have to bother with riding the bus.”

“No, I don't think it will affect people. I live out in the country and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to think twice.”
— Jim Coop, teacher, Atchison
“I doubt it very seriously. People are generally lazy these days. They don't even want to walk from their house to the bus stop.”
— Fedro Dillon, asbestos abatement worker, Lawrence
“No, I don't think so. It would probably have to get up to about $3 a gallon before people would start using it.”
