Most of the roads were actually nearly deserted in the middle of a Saturday afternoon

I've noticed this as well

The patient census in hospitals around Knoxville TN is lower than normal.

I have my theories.

The copays and deductibles are getting so high with commercial insurance, people seem to be looking at
going to the hospital or having elective surgery as a "luxury" now

Gas is expensive, and the economy sucks, and for some people it's starting to limit their ability
to drive to the hospital, or take time off work to get medical care.

"Only down side is that if prices stay this high".

The other down sides for the early adoptors of public transportation is:

1. gets overcrowded, difficult to get off.

2. no more 2 seats by one person.

3. parking space is gone for late riders.

4. difficult to wiggle between 2 SUVs, big trucks thru the
parking lot. These are really HUGE vehicles.

5. have to listen to people's cell phone conversation.
