There is a scene in The Gods Must Be Crazy! where a woman backs her car twenty feet down the driveway to the mailbox, gets a handful of business envelopes out of the mailbox, and drives back up into the garage. That's the mentality of too many people, and changing it ain't easy. But if they can walk their fat asses the same distance to the street car as to the office garage, sit down on the street car and ride 4 blocks to Wendy's, eat, and then ride back to work instead of driving there, they might do that. 

Don't forget age,illness,or injury are factors also.My sister is 81 years old and has had multiple major surgeries.Her house is on a hill ,and when she is unsteady drives down to the mailbox. I  have acute gout attacks,when it's in my ankles,feet or knees I can't walk and have to sit down the steps to get into other rooms without falling.We both bought tri levels in 1979 when very healthy.
