Re: [CTPP] more on journey to work and Millennials

Sorry to be a crank and perhaps it is because I am personally sandwiched between these two generations and sick of hearing about them both... Interesting statistics but why compare an older age group with a younger age group and then place a generational label. I am afraid that, without some context, folks are going to make conclusions that might be more about age differences (an age group at the height of their career vs. an age group at the beginning)? Generational (cohort) comparisons would be more appropriate if you could compare the Baby boom when they were young to the millenials at the same age. Not saying there are not differences but I am afraid that these side by side comparisons would lead some (the press) to draw conclusions that are beyond what can be told from the data. Michael E.
