car sales drop 20%

May it be the rise of gas prices and of raw materials, may it be the shift of trends from goods possession to good use, car sales are dropping dramatically. Reports talk about a 20% drop in the last year. On realated articles, business analysts look for new solutions to face the crisis: more ecological cars (and even electric cars), looking for some new markets like China and India… It’s strange to see that almost no article sees the link to the big increase in mass transit ridership, and foresees mass transport vehicles as a possible source of business.
