    So just ask people to answer survey questions. Go to some college campuses where a lot of students commute to and ask why are they paying hundreds a semester to park in a parking lot instead of taking the horrifyingly slow and inconsistent public transport.

      That will only get one income level, with one group of people in it.

      For good data you need DIVERSE INPUTS, which just canvassing those who already don’t have cars won’t do.
