"I live in a relatively quiet area, so you'd think I wouldn't have a traffic story to share. Unfortunately, in my neighborhood we have a lot of idling vehicles.
Whether it's a paratransit van or an ice cream truck, I worry about the emissions. I can close my windows, but there's a playground across the street. Every day, there are dozens of small children breathing in the fumes."

"Last winter, my wife and I were trying to get from our hotel near Grand Central Station to a Broadway play. We had but 20 minutes to curtain time.
If we had waited for a cab, we would have missed half the play while stuck in traffic. Thank God for pedicabs! Our driver swept us across town, almost silently bypassing long queues of stalled traffic.
